Letters Leroy lettering

John Dillinger emerges from prison in 1933 with a dangerous plan: rebuild his criminal empire and pull off a string of brutal bank robberies across the country. As his notoriety grows and his gang acquires military-grade firepower, Dillinger's arrogance and taste for the high life set him on a collision course with law enforcement determined to stop him at any cost.

Waxie Gordon
7 pp · Crime
Letters Leroy lettering

Started as a common pickpocket named Irving Wexler, "Waxie" Gordon clawed his way to become king of New York's underworld—until the same federal agents who took down Al Capone set their sights on him. When a brutal turf war with rival mobster Dutch Schultz spirals into all-out gang violence across the city, Waxie finds himself cornered from every side: by Schultz's hired killers, by his own escalating crimes, and by the T-men closing in with the same relentless tactics that spelled doom for Chicago's crime boss.

Mystery of Suite No. 13
8 pp · Crime

Private eye Michael Strong refuses to budge from Suite No. 13 at a French Riviera hotel, even when the Baroness Mellutz, the Count de Chamoron, and the hotel manager all demand he vacate—each claiming prior rights to the room. When the Count challenges Strong to a duel over the disputed suite, the detective finds himself framed for the Count's murder and forced to go on the run to uncover the real culprit. Strong suspects the beautiful Baroness is behind it all, and sets out to discover what makes this particular room worth killing for.
