Overview: George Harmon Coxe’s writing career officially began in 1922 when he labored, largely unrecognized, in the nickel and dime pulps for pennies a word. Unlike most of his contemporaries, Coxe wrote across various genres: love stories, sports, adventure tales – anything that he could sell, but his special fondness for crime fiction would eventually lead him to the Black Mask, where its legendary editor, Joe Shaw, purchased his first Jack ‘Flashgun’ Casey crime story in 1934. Hollywood beckoned in the mid-1930s and Coxe worked for MGM from 1936-38. But unlike many of his fellow pulp writers, Coxe preferred writing books… and he was a particularly prolific author

01 Silent Are the Dead
Flash Casey snaps a photo that holds the key to a corrupt lawyer’s murderCasey shouldn’t have had to go back for more pictures of Stanford Endicott. He was at the court with the other newspaper photographers when the wealthy lawyer was arraigned, and got pictures of him smiling as he put on a hat to hide his bald head. But before Casey can get the negatives developed, a pair of urchins steal his camera case and expose the plates to the sun. At his editor’s orders, Casey visits Endicott’s office for another round of photos. The picture he takes there is altogether more interesting: Stanford Endicott, dead on his office floor. Casey hears a sound in the next room and knows the murderer is close. He gives chase out the front door, and takes a picture just as the killer drives away. Suddenly, Flash Casey has a bigger story than he bargained for.
05 Deadly Image
A couple of small favors land Flash Casey in a dangerous mess
Flash Casey should know better than to take a roll of film from a desperate man. Stopping for a drink on his way home from work, a fellow news photographer gives him a canister to safeguard. The next morning, Casey wakes up with gunmen in his bedroom, looking for the film that could implicate one of their associates in a killing. To save his friend’s life, Casey hands over the negatives, expecting that to be the end of it. He’s wrong.
A stockbroker named Donald Farrington spent the night at the same bar, getting into a different kind of trouble – the sort that ends with him being photographed in a hotel room with a woman who isn’t his wife. Casey agrees to help him navigate the blackmail, a friendly offer he’ll regret very soon.
