Crime Fighting Detective #15
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis is an anthology issue containing at least three stories. "The Lawless Blackie" follows a fugitive fleeing through snowy mountains pursued by police. "T-Men" depicts Treasury Department agents investigating a crime on a New England waterfront, where a shootout erupts at a carnival. "Carnival Killings," based on a true crime case, centers on a coroner's investigation into the murder of performer Rita Rivers at the Stuart and White carnival show in St. Louis in 1897, with the resolution hinging on the discovery of poison found on the victim's body.
Detective Larry Broderick investigates the suspicious death of Mrs. Clara Crane at a society party, where her beautiful pearls—a wedding gift from her brother Tony Bedford—become the focal point of his inquiry. As accusations fly between her chemist brother and her controlling husband, Broderick must uncover whether the pearls themselves are the instrument of murder, or if something far more sinister lies beneath the surface. A clever examination of evidence and motive leads him to unmask the true killer in this classic whodunit.
