Dan Turner, also known as the Hollywood Detective, was a fictional private detective created by Robert Leslie Bellem. His first appearance was in the second issue of the pulp magazine Spicy Detective, dated June 1934, and he continued to appear regularly in that magazine (which was retitled Speed Detective in 1943) until its demise in February 1947. He also appeared in his "own" magazine, Hollywood Detective, which was published by Culture Publications (later Trojan Publishing) and ran from January 1942 to October 1950.

Bullet From Nowhere

The cameras are set, the scene has already been rehearsed; "Shoot!" the director says. . . . What happens is stark tragedy - not of the movie, play-acting variety, but like a chapter out of the deeper drama of life itself.

Cooked!

An ounce of murder-prevention is worth a pound of chasing a killer. So Dan tries to help the girl - only to find that a very fast one is being pulled on him.

The Horoscope Case

The stars had forecast her death. Professor Astrio had sent the message. The movie star wanted protection - but what could mere flesh and blood do against supernatural powers?

Million Buck Snatch

Guns roared in Chinatown. The police took it calmly. "Another tong war," they said. But Hollywood's super-sleuth Dan Turner was always a doubter. Wouldn't it seem more reasonable that somebody had deliberately shot at the girl to keep her from tipping anyone off about the kidnapping?

Murder’s Messenge

It's a big job for a detective to stop a murder from happening - especially if he gets there too late. But with the cutest quail in Hollywood cooled, her killer had to be found.
