☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Crimes by Women #12 A woman named Miss Rush, posing as a maid for a wealthy family planning to leave town, becomes entangled in a robbery scheme with accomplices who intend to steal the family's valuables. After helping lure the caretaker away and drugging the family, Rush agrees to participate but secretly plans a double-cross. A second story follows Dell, a woman who schemes with her husband Joe to kill him for insurance money by staging accidents, but when Joe discovers her infidelity and attempts to betray her, Dell engineers his death by electrocution on high-voltage wires, only to be stopped by her co-conspirator at the final moment.
Georgia Lamont, a chorus girl with her sights set on the big money, catches the attention of Danny Merrit, a small-time operator convinced he can sweep her away with promises of romance and wealth. When Merrit's schemes turn serious—dragging Georgia into a safe-cracking job that goes violently wrong—the two become fugitives on the run, moving from town to town. As their partnership spirals and Merrit's drinking becomes a liability, Georgia begins to wonder if she's learned enough from her mentor to chart her own course.
Ruth Carter was born to chase thrills—and after a tragic motorcycle accident only deepens her hunger for excitement rather than sobering her, she falls under the spell of Jack Waters, who dangles the ultimate rush: crime itself. Together they pull their first robbery on a dark road, but their celebration is cut short when rival criminals bearing stolen money of their own turn the tables, and Ruth finds herself face to face with Porky Nelson, a man who recognizes something kindred in her reckless courage. What begins as a search for one more thrill spirals into a chase where Ruth's appetite for danger may finally meet its match.
