Includes the complete very first Casey short story, "Return Engagement," that appeared in Black Mask, synopses of ALL 21 Casey short stories and novelettes, 6 novels, 4 comic books, 2 films and a play, 2 uncirculated radio scripts, a complete Program Log for radio series -- 431 programs, 1943-1950, 1954-1955, a complete Program Log for television series -- 62 programs, 1945, 1951-1952, 31 photographs and illustrations, including cast photographs for radio and television series, and the first-ever literary biography of George Harmon Coxe, twice President of the Mystery Writers of America and recipient of the MWA Grand Master Award in recognition of his lifetime contribution to the mystery genre and the consistently high quality of his work.

A comprehensive, first-rate history of the sleuthing shutterbug. Chock full with valuable information.

Both Coxe and Casey are long gone but their books brings them back, as fresh as ever.
