The lead story, "Murder on the Waterfront: The True Crime Case of 'Blue Eye' Dunn," recounts the June 3rd, 1946 case of criminal John "Blue Eye" Dunn, who was found dead on a pier after being involved in an undercover police operation. A secondary story, "Mystery of the Missing Expert," follows reporter Fanny Hartlip as she investigates the death of a man who fell from a building near West 57th Street in New York City, with police initially suspecting suicide until she discovers bullet wounds suggesting murder, leading her to uncover the identity of a mysterious art expert named Paul Lefevre. Additional stories include a dragnet operation depicted across a multi-page spread showing police pursuing criminals across various modes of transportation, from motorcycles to airplanes, culminating in a water-based escape attempt.
William Dainard starts life as a restless eighteen-year-old in Saskatchewan, but his obsession with cars and refusal to settle into honest work set him on a collision course with crime—from liquor theft to auto robbery, prison time, and finally bank robbery. After his first successful heist at the Oakville State Bank, Dainard indulges his greatest passion by buying up beat-up cars and gleefully destroying them, but his wild spending and reckless lifestyle soon draw the attention of the authorities who pursue him relentlessly. This is the story of how a car-crazy drifter transformed himself into one of the era's most audacious and elusive criminals.
Jack "Blue Eye" Dunn rules the waterfront rackets with an iron fist—until an undercover agent infiltrates his gang and sets a trap that forces Dunn into a desperate gamble. When the stakes turn lethal and revenge demands a reckoning, another officer takes up the case in disguise, determined to bring the ruthless dock boss to justice. This is the true story of how a calculated criminal finally met his match on the piers of 1946–1948.
Ray Fernandez and Martha Beck operate a vicious con game targeting lonely widows through the "Lonely Hearts Club," romancing vulnerable women before robbing—and murdering—them across the country. When the FBI connects the disappearances and constructs wanted posters, the fugitives find themselves cornered by an ever-tightening dragnet. As law enforcement closes in from all directions, the pair makes a desperate run for freedom.
