About this listen

Dan Turner ~ Hollywood Detective plunges readers into the smoky, hard-boiled world of 1940s pulp fiction, where movie stars mix with mobsters and every dame has a secret. Narrated by Dan Turner himself—a wisecracking private eye with a knack for trouble—the stories deliver breakneck action, slang-laden dialogue, and plenty of Hollywood grit.
