Police Comics #121

Ken Shannon takes a job that seems straightforward enough—protecting a sacred black panther from angry Thuggees—until the beast escapes his cage and a man lies dead, clawed to pieces. As Shannon investigates the impossible crime, he discovers the panther has been locked back in his cage, suggesting something far more sinister than a wild animal's rampage is unfolding. With danger closing in and suspects lurking on the grounds, the private eye must uncover who's really behind the curse of the clawed killer before another body falls.

A night club singer named Ginnie Marlow stumbles into danger after impersonating a wealthy man's sister, only to find herself unable to prove her real identity—and worse, someone wants her dead. Inspector Denver must untangle a deadly web of deception and amnesia to discover who's trying to kill her and why, before the killer strikes at them both in "Death Stalks at Midnight!"

When a T-Man investigates two murders connected to diplomat Monroe P. Slade—a traitorous American spreading Red propaganda across Western Europe—he goes undercover to infiltrate Slade's circle, only to discover the conspiracy runs far deeper than political betrayal. Captured and marked for death, the agent must fight his way free and track Slade and his operatives aboard the Monte Carlo Express, where the real danger to Europe's military leadership awaits. A tense cat-and-mouse game unfolds as our hero races to stop a scheme that could cripple the continent's defense.

Cornered by both the law and a vengeful mobster, a hardened criminal named Dirty Mac makes a desperate bargain with detective Hennessy—but his last-minute appeal to paternal instinct may be the dirtiest move of all. When a vicious criminal finds himself trapped between the police and the underworld, the real test isn't whether he'll survive, but whether anyone will believe a word he says.
