A reference book on vintage and Golden Age mysteries. Mysteries are organized by many categories: author; subject; geographical setting; the names of heroes and villains; year-by-year recipients of various awards; by mystery authors who have written for the screen (includes a a film-and-book cross-index). Also lists mystery plays and writings on mysteries. Toward the end is a section dealing with such bits and pieces of miscellany as critics, best-sellers, title changes, pseudonyms, organizations, pulp magazines, etc.
