Two Strange Detectives
Two classic detectives are collected in this volume.
Astro, the Master of Mysteries, solves mysterious puzzles and crimes by tapping into the spiritual plane and using his psychic abilities. Or does he? Foreshadowing USA Network's Psych, Astro is actually a keen intellect and brilliant detective who masquerades as a fortune-teller and psychic. These stories were published in 1912.
Dr. Xavier Wycherley, known as the Mind-Reader, is part psychologist, part hypnotist, and prefers healing the mind to criminal detection, but among his adventures are several mysteries he must solve. His stories were first published in 1913.
