# Crimes by Women #8 This anthology contains at least two stories. The first story depicts a criminal gang led by a woman who uses poison gas to trap victims in a warehouse, but her plan is foiled when she is caught and killed during a confrontation with law enforcement. The second story, "Ma Barker," follows the notorious criminal Ma Barker and her son Fred as they hide out in Florida; after an FBI agent appeals to their humanity, Ma Barker is killed in a gun battle with federal agents, ending the gang's reign of terror. A third story features a fortune teller in a European slum who uses tarot cards to predict deaths and murders wealthy men whose fates she has written in the cards, until her own daughter becomes one of her predicted victims, leading to the fortune teller's downfall.
