L. Ron Hubbard spent his formative years in a rugged Montana, among the cowpunchers, lawmen and desperados who would later people his Wild West adventures with authenticity. Living on the frontier, he was not only breaking broncs at a tender age but also among the few whites ever admitted into Blackfoot society as a blood brother. During an illustrious literary career, Ron threw a wide loop over the land of his beginnings and wrote 38 tales of honor, integrity, and courage of the American West.

By the end of 1937, L. Ron Hubbard had proven he could glide with ease from genre to genre - adventure, western, mystery, and even romance - and was regularly featured in the “crown jewels” of the pulp fiction magazines. In early 1938, with his now well-established stature as a writer - or, in the words of author Robert Silverberg, as a “master of the art of narrative” - L. Ron Hubbard was invited to apply his gifts for succinct characterization, original plot, deft pacing, and imaginative action to a genre that was new - science fiction and fantasy. The rest is science fiction history.

L. Ron Hubbard’s stories of mystery, detection and investigative procedure were well wrought. Written from firsthand experience with systematic research and the realities of forensic medicine, Ron crafted stories with accurate detail which injected authenticity into his detective fiction. Here are 10 stories, in four volumes, fashioned with fast, vivid style that plunge the reader into the circle of danger within a maze of crime, always with the sense of reality that epitomizes L. Ron Hubbard’s fiction.
