Are you thinking about the collections WHISPERING SANDS and
PAY DIRT? I read these years ago and thoroughly enjoyed them.
I think all the stories in them feature Bob Zane, a
prospector who keeps running into hardboiled crime
situations.
All the Gardner pulp stories I've read have been good. A
while back I read HONEST MONEY, a collection of novelettes
featuring his Perry Mason prototype, Ken Corning. Great
stuff.
