The Case of the Henpecked Gunman
6 pp · Crime

Ricky Stevens leads a double life—telling his wife he's out on mysterious errands while he actually commits a series of home robberies posing as an FBI agent. When his neglected wife Polly grows suspicious of his late nights and finally discovers a stolen gold cigarette case meant as a peace offering, her jealous rage sets in motion a chain of events that will catch up with him. A sharp crime noir tale about how deception within a marriage can prove just as dangerous as a criminal's own methods.

Death at High Tide
5 pp · Detective-Mystery

Rod Raymond, a hot-headed ex-cop turned private investigator, arrives at a yacht to protect a man threatened by his ex-wife's new husband—only to discover a corpse and a tangle of suspects with compelling motives. As Rod sifts through conflicting alibis and suspicious evidence, he'll need more than his police training to uncover whether this is a straightforward murder or an elaborate frame-up designed to send an innocent man to the chair.

Johnny Bellows
6 pp · Crime

Johnny Bellows just wants a quiet night out at the movies with his girl Peg, but when armed robbers strike the theater during their date, this hard-nosed cop finds himself without his pistol and forced to improvise. With Peg knocked unconscious in the chaos, Johnny commandeers a taxi and pursues the fleeing criminals across town in a high-speed chase that proves his off-duty determination matches his on-the-clock grit.

The Wages of Crime Is.... Death!
6 pp · Crime

It's 1924, and Death himself stalks the streets of gangland looking for his next victim—a young fighter named Mack Harris who catches the eye of crime boss "Gat" Carson. When Carson recruits Harris to muscle protection rackets and strong-arm jobs, the kid discovers he's traded his boxing gloves for a one-way ticket down a dark and violent road. Watch as Harris learns firsthand that the wages of crime lead to an inevitable and grim destination.

Stepping Stones to Terror
7 pp · Crime

A young man desperate to impress his girlfriend turns to small-time gambling raids, but when the cops crack down, he's pulled deeper into crime with his partner Frankie—leading to a botched gasoline plant robbery and a prison sentence. Years later, after engineering a daring escape from the road gang, the two fugitives find themselves cornered by police, their freedom undone by the very person he trusted most. "Stepping Stones to Terror" is a grim reminder of how one wrong choice can become a chain reaction of desperation and betrayal.
