Murder in Old Manhattan | Frank Bonham | Nightshade Diary Podcast

A detective of 1857 didn’t know about fingerprints, and he had to learn a lot about human nature. | Narrated by M.P. Pellicer

Frank Bonham was born into a family of writers. His grandfather, a gold camp judge, and his mother were poets. He wrote his first two stories at the age of ten. He suffered from asthma, and while convalescing from an attack, he started to write short stories and submit them to pulp magazines. Phantom Detective Magazine accepted his fourteenth submission. In his first two years as a writer, he produced 100 stories and sold only seven.

He worked for a couple of years as a ghost writer for Ed Earl Repp, but then moved on to become a freelance writer, turning out Western stories as he had done for Repp. Eventually, he moved to Hollywood and wrote television scripts and mystery stories.

By the time he died in 1989, he had written some five hundred short stories, novellas, and novels. One of his best-known works was the award-winning Durango Street.
