Police Comics #122

When a wealthy woman is found stabbed at a matrimonial agency, private eye Ken Shannon stumbles into a case that stretches far beyond a simple robbery—the Golden Star Social Introduction Club is hiding darker secrets than lonely hearts looking for love. With his secretary Dee Dee Dawson by his side and Lt. Art Clyde working the case, Shannon must uncover which of the agency's unsavory associates—from the insurance man Roland Avers to the mysterious Nigel Trevlayne—is using romance as a cover for murder. In this 1952 mystery, a killer has turned the promise of a soulmate into something far more sinister.

When young Tommy Brenton claims that a creature called Mr. Firehorns killed his father, Inspector Marty Denver faces a puzzle: is the boy describing an imaginary monster born from a child's vivid imagination, or has someone real hidden behind that mask? Inspector Denver must separate fact from fantasy to unmask the true murderer before another night falls.

T-Man Pete Trask infiltrates a Gypsy outlaw band in the Transylvanian Alps, hoping to convince their leader Terente to stop stealing from anti-Communist resistance groups and join the fight against the Red regime instead. When Terente's brother Enesco is discovered enslaved in a condemned mine by the Communists, Trask sees an opening to show the outlaw king that their real enemy isn't the democratic fighters—it's the Reds themselves. Will Trask's courage and quick thinking be enough to turn the Red Robbers toward a common cause?

When cop Ed Dorgan warns three small-time hoods—Duke, Tiny Graham, and Lenny Brown—to steer clear of the ruthless Snicker Reynolds, they're caught between a rock and a hard place: the killer bookie demands payment they don't have, and the determined flatfoot won't let them pull the jobs they need to raise it. As the pressure mounts and desperation takes hold, the three find themselves spiraling toward a tragedy that will change everything.
