"To learn of her husband's hidden life, Jean Kirkwood dug so deep into the past that she suddenly hit her own future. It was anything but a pretty one, with a heap of corpses at her feet, and the clear, cold knowledge that she'd never again come home!"

I Hope They're Worried and Another Story of Deception | Podcast
I Hope They're Worried by Don James
It gave John Marshal a chill, creepy feeling to sit by and watch, play by play, his own murder develop. Particularly since he knew that this was the second time that he'd be dead.
Don James was an author in the pulp noir fiction tradition. He was a newsman, editor, radio and TV writer, and a copy chief for advertising agencies. By the late 1950s, he had written several hundred fiction stories and articles which appeared in more than 34 national magazines such as American and Collier's.
I'll Be Seeing You by Day Keene
His grapefruit was iced and laced with sherry. A morning paper was folded on the tray. Life, O'Hara thought, was a pretty fine affair if a man had sense enough to take from it what he wanted... Today he must send a spray of flowers to District Attorney Martin's funeral... And if O'Hara had been more far-sighted, he would have ordered some more for his own!
Day Keene was the pseudonym of Gunnar Hjerstedt. Other pseudonyms include Lewis Dixon, Alvin F. Hunter, William Richards, Clark Nelson, Daniel White, John Corbett & Donald King (1904-1969). Keene targeted the crime and detective pulps, and soon proved he could handle the sex stuff and tough stuff as well as anyone. But his wry wit and sly humour– not to mention his talent for creating three-dimensional and often flawed male characters –made him stand out in a field dominated by one-dimensional slabs of beef.

Between Two Worlds | Dorothy Dunn | Podcast
After twenty years of it, Eloise got tired of her coffin and returned, unannounced, to get her garnet ring. When she took her departure, she had a strange farewell party, and two new companions for the long, lonely journey home.
Dorothy Dunn (1913-1952) was a St. Louis schoolteacher who published over sixty short stories in such hardboiled pulps as Black Mask, Dime Detective, Detective Tales, and Thrilling Detective in the forties and fifties, with such juicy titles as “Senora Satan,” “Dead-End Darling” and “Morphine Alley.”Her writing’s marked by “strong characterization, offbeat situations, and evocative and distinctively gritty prose,\
