☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeA man named George embezzles company funds and attempts to cover up the crime by manipulating his employee Edwin Garner, threatening to reveal damaging information about Garner unless he helps recover the stolen money. When Garner initially resists, George forces him to write a confession letter, but Garner ultimately shoots George in self-defense. Garner is arrested and convicted; his confession leads to a five-to-ten-year prison sentence, and the story closes with reflections on the injustice of his punishment for an act driven by coercion.
One man's attempt to stop two armed killers on a Manhattan scaffold turns into a desperate plunge with deadly consequences in this 1951 crime tale. When detectives investigate the shocking deaths outside the Rombard Building, a witness's account of events seems convincing—until police routine uncovers a crucial detail that changes everything. A gripping reminder that even the most sincere stories can hide the truth.
George Chalmers, a ruthless crime boss running a murder-for-hire syndicate with hired killer Sport Mason, orchestrates contract killings for wealthy clients who want their problems eliminated. When one of Chalmers' own business partners is mysteriously gunned down and Chalmers himself faces exposure over embezzled funds, his criminal enterprise spirals into dangerous territory—where his carefully hidden superstitions and Mason's own festering resentments threaten to unravel everything. A white rose becomes the calling card of doom as the web of murder and greed tightens around them both.
