In the tradition of the old Ace Doubles (flip the volume over to read the second title), here's the fifteenth Wildside Mystery Double: STOP AT NOTHING: CLASSIC CRIME STORIES, by Lionel Webb. George Squire and wife Gertrude are visiting New Orleans, where his spouse insists on staying at a "haunted" mansion that's been renovated into a hotel. When Gertrude's jewels are stolen, the proprietor, Monsieur Favreau, insists that one of the many ghosts associated with the structure's past has been at work. But George doesn't believe in the supernatural, and sets out to prove that a more mundane force is involved. Only THE MYSTERIOUS MIRROR can provide an answer! Here are a dozen scintillating tales of murder, mayhem, and urban insanity, ripped from the steamy pages of the 1950s and '60s pulp magazines! VICIOUS CIRCLES: CLASSIC CRIME STORIES, by Lionel Webb. Gabe Manton's been acquitted of the horrific crime of raping a fourteen-year-old girl. But although the law has washed its hands of him, others in town are convinced that he's guilty--and Gabe begins receiving harassing phone calls at all hours of the day and night. Gabe reports the threats to the authorities, but they can do nothing except suggest that he GET OUT OF TOWN. But when a sniper shoots him in the back, Gabe decides to take action himself. So he makes the girl's family an offer they can't refuse! Eight rough-and-ready tales of urban life and crime, yanked screaming from the pages of the pulp magazines of the 1950s!
