When liquor was once more legal, the Depression over and all the flashy criminals dead or imprisoned, the \"detectives\" turned to sin to make sales. \u003cb\u003eSexy bad girls in tight sweaters, slit skirts, and stiletto heels adorned every cover\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTrue Crime Detective Magazines\u003c\/em\u003e follows the evolution and devolution of this distinctly American genre from 1924 to 1969. Hundreds of covers and interior images from dozens of magazine titles tell the story, not just of the \"detectives,\" but also of America's attitudes towards sex, sin, crime, and punishment over five decades.
