The Golden Age of Bad Girls and Gangsters

Born during the Jazz Age and the Prohibition era, detective magazines grew into a massive publishing phenomenon. The book traces the evolution of this genre from the gangsters of the Great Depression—such as Bonnie and Clyde or John Dillinger—to the daring femme fatale women's magazine covers.

Hundreds of historic covers and illustrations tell the story not only of detectives, but also of changing attitudes toward crime and punishment. The publication features texts by magazine collector Eric Godtland, George Hagenauer, and „True Detective“ editor Marc Gerald.
