Police Comics #112

Inspector Marty Denver discovers a corpse on a deserted beach with a crushed skull—and the baffling detail that only the victim's own footprints mark the sand, with no way for a killer to have reached him. When fingerprints identify the dead man as Lou Brody, a gangster about to testify against a crime syndicate, Denver devises a dangerous ruse: he'll impersonate the corpse to draw out whoever ordered the hit, leading him to an ingenious murder method involving a low-flying plane and a truth he uncovers on the beach.

T-Man Pete Trask is dispatched behind enemy lines in Korea to locate and extract Dr. Ilsa Hecht, an Austrian scientist forced by the Russians to develop remote-controlled tanks—including a mysterious radio-guided weapon that's already proven devastatingly effective. With only his wits and a bomber squadron's cover, Trask must infiltrate a heavily guarded farm where the doctor and her captors are working, all while time runs out before the new tanks are ready to move. What unfolds is a tense rescue operation where nothing goes quite as planned, and Dr. Hecht proves she's far more than just a prisoner waiting to be saved.

Detective Alan Sykes interrogates Mrs. Graham about her husband Bill's murder, probing her story about his shooting and the suspicious men in her past. As the widow grows increasingly defensive under questioning, Sykes spots a crucial detail that exposes her deception—and reveals that she, not one of her admirers, pulled the trigger.

Officer Jim Fenley knows everyone on Flynn Street, including old Mr. Riggs and his ambitious young assistant Chuck—until Chuck is arrested with narcotics planted on him by a ruthless dope ring. When Fenley posts bail to give the boy a chance to prove his innocence, Chuck must navigate a dangerous choice: protect his father from the mob's threats, or help the cop take down the criminals running the neighborhood's narcotics trade. What starts as an act of faith becomes a test of courage that will expose the real culprits and change everything for everyone involved.
