☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Killer at Heart" recounts the 1925 crime spree of Paul Jawarski, leader of the Flathead Gang, whose armored car robbery netted $1,500,000 and marked an important step in criminal history. After a failed attempt to kill accomplice Sam Jawarski at a Weckawken mine near Pittsburgh, Paul fled but was recaptured six months later in Detroit, where he was executed by electric chair on December 29, 1931, while his associates Sam and Joe received long prison sentences. The issue also includes "Wanted for Murder," a true crime story about paroled criminal David Trask, who broke into a house in Hood River, Oregon on April 25, 1947, stealing jewelry, cash, and firearms before escaping.
Paul Jawarski and his gang, the Flatheads, pull off a daring armored car heist near Pittsburgh, only to face a violent ambush and a growing police investigation. As the trio begins to fracture under pressure, Paul’s loyalty is tested when his partner Joe turns on him, leading to a tense showdown with the law.

As Roper manipulates the courtroom with theatrical precision, he sets a trap not just for the law, but for his own former clients, drawing them into a deadly game of loyalty and fear.
When famed violinist Guido Marcanni arrives at Karnakee Hall for a concert, he’s already entangled in a deadly web: a mysterious pawn ticket and a stolen violin linked to a smuggling ring.

Jo is trapped in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse with a clever thief known as Raffles, who leaves behind a telltale cut telephone wire at each crime scene. When the police set a trap using a network of wires linked to a switchboard, they finally corner the thief after weeks of waiting—only to discover the real twist in the final moment.
