Bailbondsman William "Bail-Bond" Dodd was the first series character that hard-boiled genius Norbert Davis created for Harry Steeger's best detective pulp. Running for eight installments, this unique series was one of the best Davis ever wrote for the pages of Dime Detective, the prestigious crime pulp second only to the legendary Black Mask in its impact on the genre. As a bonus, this edition also includes the first story that Davis wrote for Dime Detective: "The Gin Monkey."
