Synopsis "The New Pulp Fiction"

In the early 1800's it was common for local newspapers and magazines to publish serialized fiction. An example would be Edgar Allan Poe, whose fiction was published by local printers and sold through subscription list around Philadelphia, Baltimore and New York. The novels of Charles Dickens were serialized in magazines. While he became the first popular fiction sensation in America his writing reached only a small segment of the population. After the Civil war literacy in the United States reached a level that would support a mass market. The dime novel, weekly libraries of five and ten cent books found a national audience prior to the opening of the twentieth century. The biggest and longest detective hero was Nick Carter. In 1915 Carter became the hero of the first Mystery pulp, Detective Story Magazine, followed in 1919 by the Buffalo Bill Weekly. Note: The magazines were called Pulps, because they were published on the very cheapest available Pulp Paper. In this book I have attempted to create a more modern detective. He is college graduate, a gentleman and uses scientific methods rather than brass knuckles to develop evidence. The women are ladies rather than gun molls and bimbos.
