Super-Detective, May 1950

Follow That Girl! *Super-Detective*, May 1950, features "Follow That Girl!" by Terry O. K. Burleson, a complete novelette set in Mexico City. Treasury Agent Bill Coffey, working for the U.S. Customs Division, arrives to investigate drug smuggling operations. A hotel desk clerk has been murdered—shot in an alley—apparently for informing on dope runners trafficking in opium and heroin across the Mexican border from the Sierra Madre Mountains. Coffey becomes entangled when he encounters Rhoda Fletcher, an attractive blonde woman confronting Steve Voorhees in the hotel lobby. Suspecting Voorhees of involvement in the drug operation and the murder, Coffey finds himself distracted by his attraction to Fletcher, though uncertain whether she's innocently caught up in Voorhees's activities or complicit. The story culminates in gunfire as Fletcher demonstrates her own capacity for violence, shooting a man named Sanchez to aid Coffey's investigation. The narrative balances crime-procedural elements with romantic tension amid international intrigue.
