The Complete Cases of Drago

Drago is no ordinary detective. Quiet, razor-keen, and maddeningly elusive, he is the shadowy right hand of Inspector McTigue-an unorthodox investigator who reads motive in a glance and finds truth where others see only the supernatural. In these four hard-boiled tales John Lawrence sends Drago into impossible rooms, apparent miracles, and locked-house nightmares that crack open under his cold logic and relentless nerve. Beginning with the chilling "Murder by Magic," the cases here mix occult misdirection, family secrets, crooked money, and slapdown violence-pulp storytelling at its leanest and meanest.

The Complete Cases of Drago collects the entire series-every story restored and uncut-so you can follow Drago from the first baffling death to his final, brilliant reckonings. For readers who love tough dialogue, surgical plotting, and a detective who gets results by seeing what others refuse to see, this is essential pulp.
