A Word For Murder: Lt. Joseph Marcus #4
Wildside Press is proud to present the fourth of Fletcher Flora’s series featuring police detective Lt. Joseph Marcus, as part of our ongoing effort to make Flora’s collected work available again to the public. We plan to release the entire series.<P> In this entry, Lt. Marcus and Sgt. Fuller investigate another puzzling murder – in this case, the death of Phil Stein, slain while mowing his lawn. …<P> While Flora had a long career writing much crime, mystery, and detective fiction, Marcus seems to be his only attempt to create a series character. Marcus, as a character, is marked by his dogged rationality, as he attempts to solve various “inexplicable” murders and crimes, much to the annoyance of his compatriot Bobo Fuller. We have been able to identify nine stories featuring the character—although as always we ask fans and aficionados to inform us of any we have missed. Note: while many online sources list the Fletcher Flora story “The Capsule” (from Mike Shayne Mystery Magazine, December 1964) as being part of the Marcus series, it does not actually feature the character. “The Capsule” can be read in Wildside Press’s The Second Fletcher Flora Mystery MEGAPACK®.<P>We hope you enjoy this classic detective story.

The Photographer and the Final Payment
In the February 24, 1982 issue of Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, the editor offered the following challenge to the Author: «A plot idea for the next Photographer story: when Manuel looks at the name and address on the slip of paper handed to him by Rodolfo, he reads his own name and address. He has been given the assignment to nullify himself! How does the Photographer give positive proof to the Big Ones (no trick photo) of his own death, collect his murderer’s fee, and still remain alive to tell the tale?» James Holding immediately took up the awe-inspiring challenge and the following story is the result—an unforgettable chapter in the murky career of Manuel Andradas you will read with fascination from the first line to the last (no peeking)!
