Police Comics #98

The Spirit tangles with Nylon Rose, a cunning criminal mastermind smuggling counterfeit currency through the docks by stashing it in hospital patient bandages aboard an outbound ship. When The Spirit uncovers her operation and ends up trapped aboard with her quarrelsome gang, he discovers that Rose is actually a federal operative playing a deep cover game—and that his friend Ellen Dolan has been harboring her the whole time. It's a wild chase of mistaken loyalties and hidden identities that keeps everyone—crooks and lawmen alike—guessing until the final reveal.

Officer Dan Richards suspects trouble at an exclusive masquerade ball when a jobless young man tips him off about two criminals planning a heist—so Manhunter crashes the party in costume, with his faithful dog Thor ready for action. When the Countess's prized necklace vanishes during a carefully timed blackout, Manhunter uses quick thinking and a photograph to expose the thieves and their switcheroo scheme. It's a night where the city's high society gets more excitement than they bargained for.
