Crime and Justice #4

Babes Trevor's trigger finger is as fast as her mind—when a crew of hardened criminals plans a big bank job in the desert, the gun-slinging dame sees an opportunity far bigger than the score itself. As the gang splits the take and prepares their getaway, Babes has other ideas about who deserves a cut, and she's willing to use her trusty .38 to rewrite the deal. But leaving bodies in the desert has a way of catching up with you, and when the law closes in, Babes' smooth lies may not be enough to save her from the noose.

A man's bitter resentment of his spendthrift brother festers into murderous obsession, and he devises what seems like the perfect crime—using a suicide note the brother himself once wrote as his alibi. But a sharp West Coast detective's skepticism about a few small details unravels the entire scheme, proving that even the most calculated plan can crumble under shrewd scrutiny.

Two small-time crooks kidnap Frank Ricardo, the ruthless head of the East Coast underworld, demanding fifty thousand dollars for his safe return—but their cleverly plotted scheme to collect the ransom from a low-flying airplane quickly spirals into something far deadlier than either of them anticipated. As their perfect crime unfolds on the New Jersey coast, greed and paranoia transform partners into enemies, and the consequences catch up with them in ways they never saw coming.

A woman fresh out of prison tries to build an honest life, but a former inmate named Danny Dressner has other plans—he's compiled a list of discharged convicts and intends to extort them by threatening to expose their criminal pasts. As Dressner systematically preys on his vulnerable targets across the country, the authorities find themselves helpless to stop him, knowing that ex-convicts have few places to turn for help. The blackmailer's cruel campaign sets in motion a chain of consequences that will test just how far someone desperate to stay straight will go.
