# Murder Incorporated #1 The main story follows a criminal gang's bungled attempt to eliminate a witness named Murphy. After Murphy survives a hit and is hospitalized, the gang plots to poison him with wood alcohol-soaked oysters, but Murphy inadvertently recovers and escapes. The story concludes with the gang pursuing Murphy across Texas, where he is cornered at a gas station and apparently killed in a confrontation involving a woman in a red dress and members of the gang.

Charlie Birger, the ruthless king of his criminal empire in Little Egypt, clashes violently with the Shelton brothers over territory and respect—a rivalry that ignites a vicious gangland war.
