{"product_id":"perfect-murders","title":"Perfect Murders","description":"\u003cdiv\u003ePerhaps best known for editing the popular post–World War II magazines \u003ci\u003eGalaxy Science Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBeyond Fantasy Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e, Horace L. Gold also wrote comic-book scripts for DC Comics and penned numerous pulp adventures and science-fiction stories. \u003ci\u003ePerfect Murders\u003c\/i\u003e, a collection of seven of these stories, captures the timeless emotions evoked by pulp and science fiction for the twenty-first century. Though the main character is always called Gilroy, his identity shifts from story to story: the horserace handicapper fighting for his dame, the private eye sussing out the murderer, or the hard-boiled journalist exposing the mad scientist. And though Gold uses the traditional genres—time travel, Armageddon, science gone awry, murder, extraterrestrials—\u003ci\u003ePerfect Murders\u003c\/i\u003e is nothing less than a horrific, page-turning, fictional thrill ride engineered by one of the leading science-fiction writers and editors of the mid-twentieth century. The Bison Books edition is introduced by Gold’s son, E. J. Gold, offering a new perspective on these classic stories.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Horace L.
