Crime Does Not Pay #74

When two career criminals kill a wealthy collector and steal his jade collection, Lieutenant Sain begins investigating what should be a straightforward robbery—until the criminals' nervousness and a quick confession convince him they're hiding something far worse. As Sain closes in through smart detective work and an unexpected break from a painter's poker game, the bandits' desperation mounts and the net tightens.

When Officer James Carwell stops at a gas station to make a phone call, he walks into a violent stick-up by Tony Krug and Pete Tatum—a decision that sets off a desperate manhunt across the frozen countryside. The police close in relentlessly, tracking the killers through roadblocks and broadcasts while Krug, now alone and cornered, makes his final stand. It's a true crime story of swift justice in the face of senseless violence.
