Contains 4 stories
The Chinatown Caper
10 pp · Detective-Mystery

Detective Johnny Danger finds himself tangled up in a vicious opium smuggling ring operating out of Chinatown when a young newspaper boy's desperate cry for help draws him into the case. Trapped in Hong Lee's torture den and marked for death by the ruthless mastermind Ace Grawley, Johnny must navigate a web of threats, mysterious allies, and deadly secrets—including the cryptic Jade Lady—to expose the operation and save the innocent people of the Oriental settlement. With knives flying and trapdoors springing open, this one's a wild ride into the darkest corners of the underworld.

The Election Caper
7 pp · Detective-Mystery

When reform candidate Ben Porter hires private detective Johnny Danger as a bodyguard against Big Ed Drummond's campaign thugs, what starts as street-level intimidation escalates into a dangerous game of political sabotage and frame-ups. Danger must navigate threats on multiple fronts—from Drummond's hired muscle to a planted scandal designed to strip his license—as he races to uncover the corruption that could decide the election. The detective's only chance lies in getting his hands on evidence before Drummond's gang silences him for good.

The Swing Street Caper
7 pp · Detective-Mystery

When wealthy heiress Sally Campbell flees her Texas home to chase stardom on Broadway, private detective Johnny Danger tracks her down performing at a seedy 52nd Street nightclub—but his discovery sets off a chain of events far darker than a simple runaway case. Before he can escort her back to her desperate parents, Sally vanishes, and a ransom demand arrives revealing that her Broadway dreams have made her a target for ruthless criminals. Now Danger must navigate the shadowy underworld of Manhattan's jazz joints and back alleys to find her before the kidnappers' deadline strikes.
