Pseudonym of Lester Dent
(1905-1959)
ED STONE was a former prizefighter who reluctantly became a private eye to make ends meet, yet somehow, somewhere along the way he’d acquired a Chinese valet named One. Ed shouldn’t kick about it too much, though — One is the brains behind the outfit, the one who does most of the leg work and keeps the business going.
And, oh, those cases! Ed landed himself some doozies, including one dealing with Shakespeare’s remains.
Ed (and One) appeared in six stories in Crime Busters, from 1938 to 1939.
