Sinopsis

In "The Phantom Detective: 5 Murder Mysteries in One Volume," Robert Wallace masterfully weaves intricate tales of suspense that encapsulate the essence of early 20th-century detective fiction. Each story showcases Wallace's keen eye for detail and incisive character development, set against richly imagined backdrops reflecting the social mores of the 1930s. Utilizing a distinctive narrative style that balances atmospheric tension with sharp dialogue, Wallace engages readers with plot twists that challenge their deduction skills, all while embodying the genre's classic 'whodunit' appeal. Robert Wallace, an influential figure in American pulp fiction, cultivated his craft through extensive work in magazines and serial publications during the Golden Age of Mystery. His personal experiences and fascination with the intricacies of human behavior likely inspired the complex characters that populate these tales, particularly his enigmatic protagonist, the Phantom Detective, who embodies both intellect and moral ambiguity. Wallace's commitment to authenticity and psychological depth sets him apart in a crowded literary landscape. This collection is an essential read for aficionados of mystery fiction and newcomers alike, offering an enriching glimpse into the evolution of the genre. Fans of Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle will find much to admire in Wallace's work, making it a worthy addition to any literary library.

    How do you stop a killer you can't even see? 
    It's been two years since Detective Marissa Ambrose nearly lost her life working the Couple’s Killer case, but time hasn't stopped the vivid nightmares. She still carries the heavy guilt of her partner's death, and the Seattle Police Department refuses to support her theory that the suspect they arrested had an accomplice. With her ex-husband regretfully out of the picture, Marissa was supposed to be focusing on adjusting back to something resembling normalcy in her quiet tourist town. Then the letters came. 
    Unmarked envelopes full of photographs have been arriving at Marissa's door. Candid shots of her at home. Now, Marissa is certain the missing murderer is stalking her, tracking her every move to finish what he started. As she obsesses over the strange images, the Seattle PD unexpectedly asks for her help. A serial killer is on the loose and targeting members of the Port Townsend community. Despite a personal connection to the first victim, Marissa agrees to pin her badge on once more. 
    The photographs are piling up and the suspect can't be seen by surveillance cameras. Like a ghost, this killer is haunting her.
