Falcon Swift in Boy's Magazine
Edwy Searles Brooks made a number of contributions to Boy's Magazine, published by Allied Newspapers. Included among these entries were a number of Falcon Swift detective stories. Falcon Swift featured in Boys Magazine from 1922 onwards and Brooks was a later contributor to the canon. His serial, "The Shooting Sleuth" saw Swift as the "Sporting Detective" and featured him playing as a centre forward. In addition he provided eight other complete stories between 1931 and 1933.
Ross MacDonald, creator of the Lew Archer detective series, cites Falcon Swift, the Monacled Manhunter, as the favourite detective of his boyhood, although he stories he read would probably have predated the ones
