Tarantula Tower Theodore Roscoe

Best remembered as the author of Thibaut Corday and his French Foreign Legion yarns, author Theodore Roscoe wrote another, little-known, long-running series: the adventures of curio hunter Peter Scarlet and Bradshaw, the naturalist. While each appeared in solo stories, they also teamed up in several yarns. These tales of treasure in the Orient are action-filled adventure by one of pulpdom's best. Volume 4 collects the final five adventures, taken from the pages of Action Stories and Argosy magazines: "Tarantula Tower," "Octopus," "Blood of the Beast," "The Evil Eye," and "Port of Missing Heads."
