☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Crime Must Pay the Penalty #4 This issue contains two main crime stories. "Ruler of the Racketeers" depicts a violent gang war when crime dealers attempt to muscle in on another mob's operations, resulting in a fierce battle between criminal factions. The second story involves the Sheriff of Bedford Castle discovering that varlets have broken into his castle's treasure room and stolen valuables, leading to a pursuit involving vigilantes from Virginia City who organize to track down and stop the thieves before they escape with their haul of silver and gems.
Thomas Dun is a master of murderous disguise—a criminal so skilled at altering his appearance that no two witnesses can agree on what he looks like, leaving the Sheriff of Bedford baffled in his hunt across Plantagenet England. When the Sheriff finally captures one of Dun's own men, a golden opportunity to end the reign of terror seems within reach—until Dun's gift for deception turns the tables in ways the law never anticipated. It's a tale of cunning, betrayal, and a criminal whose greatest weapon isn't steel or fire, but the ability to become anyone at all.
William Bonton Garner cuts a violent path through the underworld as a Navy deserter turned killer, racking up four murders and multiple robberies across Kentucky and Florida in his brutal climb toward fortune. When Miami police close in after a bridge shooting leaves a cop dead, Garner's desperation drives him to an audacious disguise—but his attempt to slip through the dragnet in a woman's dress sets off a wild chase that brings him face-to-face with the very justice he's been running from. This tale from Crime Must Pay the Penalty captures one of the strangest twists in Miami police history.
