The Riddle of the Traveling SkullThe Collins Library is proud to present the triumphant return of Harry Stephen Keeler ? to some, an overlooked genius; to others, the Ed Wood of detective fiction. The Riddle of the Traveling Skull is perhaps his best-loved work. The adventure begins when a poem and a mysterious handbag lead a man to the grave of Legga, the Human Spider ? and things just get stranger from there. |
