Law Against Crime #3

This anthology presents crime stories drawn from police files. "Lipstick Slayer Sought" depicts a Philadelphia case where a landlady in a cheap rooming house is murdered, with a mysterious lipstick mark left on her forehead as a clue. "For Value Received" follows loan shark Gordon Brand, whose predatory business practices and threats toward borrower Dave Stephens lead to violent confrontation and ultimately Brand's downfall when law catches up with his criminal methods. A third story involves a divorce case where a man named Cox, estranged from his wife Wanda Mae, attempts to locate her with the help of law enforcement, tracing her to a dairy on Lincoln Avenue.
