Eleven Westerns from the Pulps: Hashknife Hartley and Other Range Mysteries from Adventure, Short Stories and Giant Western, 1922 to 1948 (Annotated)

This collection features eleven complete western detective stories by W. C. Tuttle, originally published between 1922 and 1948, that showcase his fast-paced, humorous style centered on innocent men falsely accused and the drifting heroes who clear their names. In these tales, the detective, Hashknife Hartley, sometimes quietly alters the record after solving the crime, blurring the line between justice and kindness. Accompanied by a critical afterword exploring the detective's sometimes questionable last acts and a biography of Tuttle, this volume offers a nuanced look into classic Old West mystery fiction.
