As chief detective for U.S. Naval Intelligence, Lieutenant Commander
Sheridan Doome's job was a grim one. Whenever an extraordinary mystery
or crime occurred in the fleet, on a naval base, or anywhere the navy
worked to protect American interests, Doome was immediately dispatched
to investigate it. Doome's arrival in his special black airplane was
always preceded by fear and dread. For, in an explosion during WWI, he
had been monstrously disfigured. Much of his skin had been burned
away, leaving his head and face an expressionless bone-white lump of
scar tissue. But behind the ugliness was a brilliant mind. Once he was
assigned to a case, Doome always got his man.
In the mid-1930's, before Sheridan Doome became a staple in the pages
of The Shadow magazine, two Doome hardcover mysteries were written by
acclaimed hard-boiled author Steve Fisher (I Wake Up Screaming, No
House Limit) and edited by his wife Edythe Seims (Dare-Devil Aces,
Dime Detective). Age of Aces now brings you both books in one huge
double novel, presented in a retro "flip book" style.
