Contains 5 stories
The Mad Bandit
7 pp · Crime
Ned Brown

Ned Brown, a remorseless criminal who preys on banks, stores, and anyone in his path across Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee, discovers that his arrogance and ruthlessness only deepen his troubles—especially when a prison escape and a string of brutal robberies put him squarely in the crosshairs of the law. This true crime tale follows the "Mad Bandit" as his own greed and willingness to betray his accomplices unravel what little loyalty he has, leading him toward an reckoning he never saw coming.

Bodyguard
1 pp · Crime

In "Bodyguard," a hardened gangland enforcer—tough, silent, and certain he’s untouchable—finds an unexpected bond with the weapon he carries: a gun he’s affectionately named 'Baby.' The story explores the strange intimacy between man and machine, as loyalty and trust blur the line between tool and companion.

The Gangdom Brain
10 pp · Crime
Frank Nash

Frank Nash, a mastermind criminal known for orchestrating the underworld's most audacious heists and breakouts, plots everything from bank robberies to train jobs with ruthless precision—but his meticulous plans begin to unravel when circumstances force him into increasingly dangerous situations. As Nash and his associates execute their schemes, they discover that even the best-laid criminal blueprints can't account for every variable, and the law—along with his own allies—may be closing in.

Why Did You Kill Me?
1 pp · Crime

A boxer savors his victory in the ring, boasting about the beating he delivered—until he realizes his opponent was already dead before he landed the final blow, courtesy of a fixed fight gone fatally wrong. Now a ghost haunting his past, he confronts the dark truth that his greed made him complicit in murder, and discovers his opponent's vengeful spirit has claimed him as well. "Why Did You Kill Me?" is a grim tale of crime's inescapable reckoning, where the hunter becomes the hunted in the boxing underworld.

Stop or We'll Shoot!
6 pp · Crime
Cash Barton

"Stop or We'll Shoot!" follows Cash Barton, fresh out of prison and eager to start fresh—only this time, he’s not doing it alone. With a new partner, Jack Rugg, he believes their clever plans will keep them one step ahead of the law. But their confidence may be their greatest mistake.
