At the height of the Jazz Age, when Prohibition was turning ordinary citizens into criminals and ordinary criminals into celebrities, America's true crime detective magazines were born.  'True Detective' came first in 1924, and by 1932, when the Great Depression had produced colorful outlaws like Machine Gun Kelly, Bonnie and Clyde, Babyface Nelson, and John Dillinger, the magazines were so popular cops and robbers alike vied to see themselves on the pages.

Hundreds of covers and interior images from dozens of magazine titles tell the story, not just of the 'detectives', but also of America's attitudes towards sex, sin, crime and punishment over five decades. With texts by magazine collector Eric Godtland, true crime historian George Hagenauer and 'True Detective' editor Marc Gerald, 'True Crime Detective Magazines' is an informative and entertaining look at one of the strangest publishing niches of all time.
