description: From the inside flap:Lucius Leffing private detective and psychic investigator was introduced to entranced readers in issues number twelve of Macabre in 1963 in a story entitled The Haunted Housewife. (in the same year he was briefly mentioned in another story In the Very Stones which appeared in the Macabre House book Scream at Midnight but he was not actually a protagonist in that story.) He appeared as a leading character in two more eerie detective stories published in Macabre. Subsequently his investigative adventures were featured in thirteen additional tales published either in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine or in Mike Shayne Mystery Magazine.THE CASEBOOK OF LUCIUS LEFFING brings together all sixteen published Leffing stories plus one adventure that has never before appeared in print. Leffing who fervently speaking may seem a trifle old-fashioned to a few readers but his appeal will be great and lasting to the hosts of those who figuratively speaking devour the classic cases of Conan Doyle's Solar Pons Algernon Blackwood's John Silence and William Hope Hodgson's Carnacki.Here then is a veritable fest for detective-story addicts as wel as for all aficionados of the bizarre the macabre and mysterious.These seventeen stories will establish Lucius Leffing's reputation as one of literature's leading sleuths in spheres both mundane and unearthly.
