Crime Fighting Detective #13
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Crime-Fighting Detective #13 This issue contains multiple crime stories. The lead story involves a manhunt for criminal Hamilton, who narrowly escapes death and assembles a posse to evade capture, eventually heading toward Mississippi as his only sanctuary. A separate narrative follows a murder trial centered on the death of Al Storki, a crime boss; the prosecutor argues that Joe Storki, Al's brother, is guilty based on circumstantial evidence including a gun found on George Antilli's desk, though the case hinges on a dictaphone recording that reveals crucial details about the actual murderer and provides Antilli with an alibi. Additional stories include a prison escape tale in which an inmate named King orchestrates a breakout during a guard change, and various other crime-fighting scenarios typical of the detective anthology format.
In 1931, eighteen-year-old Raymond Hamilton escapes a Texas jail and joins forces with Clyde Barrow to pull off a ruthless crime spree—armed robberies, murders, and raids across the South and Midwest. When Hamilton's ambitions clash with Barrow's methods, he partners with Gene O'Dare instead, but a seemingly chance encounter with a waitress at a skating rink sets in motion a turn of fate that lands him behind bars with a staggering sentence. Determined to reclaim his freedom, Hamilton puts together an audacious plan that shocks the small town where he's being held.
When King Cole takes over detective duties at his father's agency, a routine assignment to guard wedding gifts at an exclusive ceremony becomes anything but routine—especially when the prize of the collection is a pair of priceless diamonds. King must navigate a lodge full of wealthy guests and suspicious characters while keeping his true identity under wraps, but the real trouble starts when someone attempts to break into his room in the dead of night. With danger closing in and secrets multiplying, King discovers that guarding those diamonds is far more complicated than anyone bargained for.
