The criminals attempt to evade capture by manipulating the car's brakes and causing a collision, but their escape attempt ends in a crash. The issue also features "Disciples of Deception," a text article documenting famous historical hoaxes including the Cardiff Giant statue, William Henry Ireland's Shakespeare forgeries, Dr. Dorothy Logan's English Channel swimming fraud, and Brian Hughes's fake park donation scheme.
In 1938 Pittsburgh, ruthless criminal Big Ed Manici devises an audacious scheme to rob the Western Star—a heavily guarded express train carrying two million dollars—by derailing it at a remote switch near Clayville with help from his crew. When FBI Agent Walter Addis boards the same train and recognizes Manici, the criminal's plan spirals into violence and chaos as the heist unfolds with the law closing in fast. This is a hard-hitting true crime tale of greed, treachery, and the inevitable reckoning that awaits those who think they can outsmart the law.
When a nervous ex-con named Ike Dorgan tries to cut a deal with Detective Ellis, he becomes a marked man—the sharpshooter Ping Marsh can't afford a squealer. As Marsh's gang executes a brutal bank robbery and eliminates witnesses with cold precision, the hunt intensifies for the killer whose sniper's eye has already claimed multiple lives. Detective Ellis races to stop Marsh before another body turns up, but the criminals' code of silence may prove just as deadly as the guns.
