March of Crime #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains two crime stories. "Crime in Reverse" by Harry Butler follows the police investigation of a mysterious bandit who robbed the Colorado Bank ten months prior and has mysteriously returned to the scene of the crime; Detective Captain Milton Parker and his team methodically track down the criminal through careful police work, ultimately cornering Royal Stone at a country home where Stone kills himself. A second story depicts the prison years of Oren Miklos, who dreams of revenge against Haggerty during his incarceration, and after his release arranges for Haggerty's execution through underworld connections, only to have his own plans for murder thwarted before Haggerty is ultimately killed.
Wilbur Underhill rises from small-time moonshine runner in Depression-era Oklahoma to a ruthless criminal mastermind, hijacking shipments, robbing storefronts, and evading law enforcement across three states with his trigger-happy partner Phil Hardin. Cornered by federal agents in a climactic standoff in Shawnee, Underhill must decide whether to surrender or make a desperate last stand. This brutal true-crime tale chronicles the violent trajectory of a man whose ambition and cold-blooded nature leave a body count in their wake.
Oren Miklos has spent ten bitter years in prison consumed by one burning need: revenge against Peanuts Hagerty, the man who turned informant and sent him up on a grand larceny rap. Now that Miklos is free, he stalks the underworld in search of his betrayer, but Hagerty has protection of his own—and both men will learn that vengeance carries a price far steeper than either imagined.
