Davy and I are proud to present the eighth in our series of rare and unreprinted adventures of Race Williams, the Fasted Gun in the East. "Hell with the Lid Lifted," from the March 1939 Dime Detective, begins with Race impersonating a doctor - a doctor who's expected to saw the leg off a healthy young woman. And while he's still reeling from that, he's rushed into a wedding ceremony - with him as the groom.

ReplyDeleteOne of the very best Race stories, and certainly one of Daly's best titles. Well done, guys!
ReplyDeleteI like that title!
ReplyDeleteMe too. Wish I'd thought of it.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! Thanks as always.
ReplyDeleteAs a great fan of Daly's work, I would really LOVE to read this one!!
ReplyDeleteI sent an email request for a copy a few days ago, but haven't heard anything back. Have you stopped sending these stories out?
Just curious. Thanks for your time!
Any gun experts here? Does Race's stunt of pressing hard against the barrel of the .38 automatic really work?
