Good evening.
Over the course of the last year, we have charted the life of Rocky Stone through the notebooks found two years ago in San Francisco. As research continues, more material by the pulp fiction writer Adam Santeno has resurfaced in an obscure publication, Manhunt!, a magazine which only existed in two volumes, printed in July of 1949 and January 1950. Santeno's story appearing in the July issue, entitled Trouble Is My Breakfast, was the featured work of that magazine, and was to that date Santeno's longest story at 44 pages, taking up over a half of the magazine's space. Sadly, the distribution of Manhunt! was decidedly limited, and indeed, its existence was completely unknown until a reader of these pages happened upon copies of both magazines at a yard sale in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
The plot of Trouble Is My Breakfast matches the entries in the Rocky Stone notebooks dated May 4th through May 11th. Using these two sources, Mr. Sanders has hoped to recreate these events in his book, The Sinister Door, as an introduction to the further adventures of the detective. Such recurring characters as Lt. Phillip Hardacre of the Homicide Squad and the nightclub singer Sultry Vixen make their first appearances in this book, as well as Detective Harry Mann, whose own stories were chronicled under his own name in the pulp magazine Detective Dime.
As Mr. Sanders completes this work, please continue to read these pages to discover its future availability.
Good evening.
