Frederick Nebel's unforgettable character Jack Cardigan was one of the main reasons behind the success of the legendary Dime Detective Magazine. His hard-boiled P.I. stories were a major influence to other writers of the era, yet only a handful have been reprinted since their original 44-story run eighty years ago. Volume 4 of this series contains the last 11 installments, complete and uncut, with the original illustrations by John Fleming Gould.

Contains: "A Couple of Quick Ones (June 1, 1935) ," "The Dead Die Twice (August, 1935)," "Death in the Raw (October, 1935)," "The Curse of Cardigan (December, 1935)," "Blood in the Dark (January, 1936)," "The Sign of Murder (March, 1936)," "Lead Poison (April, 1936)," "Murder By Mail (June, 1936)," "Make Mine Murder (November, 1936)," "Behind the 8-Ball (March, 1937)," and "No Time to Kill (May, 1937)."
