Norbert Davis is best known these days for his quiet but deadly detective Doan and Doan's imperturbable partner, Carstairs the Great Dane. Four Doan & Carstairs adventures, "Holocaust House,"The Mouse in the Mountain, Sally's in the Alley and Oh, Murderer Mine are available free in eformat HERE from Munseys.com. A final story, "Cry Murder!" appeared in Flynn's in July 1944. I DO NOT have a copy of that one, but I'd sure like to. Can anyone help?
Davis' best know pulp detective, Max Latin, appeared in Dime Detective and has been collected by Altus Press, HERE. And Black Dog Books offers Dead Man's Brand, a collection of eight Norbert Davis westerns, HERE.
But Davis wrote a lot more than that. From Detective Fiction Weekly, I have two adventures of Simeon Saxon, an ex-con (innocent, of course) who now tries to help other folks walk the straight and narrow as a "public relations counsel." This tale is from January 18, 1936. The other story (coming soon), is "Diamond Slippers," from March 14 of that year.
