☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue is an anthology containing two crime stories. "The Capture" depicts a confrontation between police and criminals over a tipped-off job, with officers pursuing suspects through an urban setting at night. "The Grafter" follows Officer Kelsey and his partner as they investigate a counterfeit money operation, tracing the source of bad bills through interrogations and stakeouts while uncovering a payoff scheme involving a corrupt patrol officer named Macy. The second story culminates in a dramatic fire at an apartment building where the counterfeiters are operating, forcing the officers to evacuate civilians and combat the blaze.
When a desk sergeant gets a phone call claiming to be Louis Fenner—a cop killer wanted across the country—he faces an impossible choice: keep the dangerous criminal talking long enough for police to close in, or risk losing him entirely. Working through newspaper columnist Wally Porter and ultimately the Police Commissioner himself, the sergeant must use every ounce of nerve and persuasion to convince Fenner that surrender is his only way out. It's a high-stakes game of wits played entirely over the wire, where one wrong word could end in tragedy.
A lieutenant organizes a retirement party for Murph, a veteran officer completing thirty years on the beat, but duty calls when a dangerous gang needs to be stopped—and the night takes a tragic turn that transforms the celebration into something entirely different. Written with the weight of police work and sacrifice, this story follows how one decision ripples through a precinct house, leaving everyone to reckon with what it means to honor those who serve.
A pickpocket's offhand remark plants a troubling seed in Detective Golden's mind: that patrolman Ed Macy might be on the take. What starts as idle curiosity hardens into a methodical investigation that takes Golden through the neighborhood's underworld—loan sharks, bookies, and mobsters—each piece of evidence pulling him closer to the truth about a cop he thought he knew. As the facts pile up and Macy's denials crumble, Golden faces the painful reality that corruption wears a familiar face.
A cop's patience wears thin when he arrests a street peddler named Bronson for breaking the law—until a nearby fire alarm pulls him away from his doubt and into a desperate rescue. When Harris and his partner Kelsey brave the burning building to save a baby trapped in thick smoke, a routine day of thankless work transforms into something that might just remind him why he carries the badge.
