"Roger Tuohy—the 'Tough-Boy' Killer" depicts a deceptive criminal with a heart of iron and a talent for cunning who uses his wild-tempered brothers as pawns in his schemes, only to discover that crime leads inevitably to the grave. In a parallel storyline, a prison riot at Grey Rock Penitentiary unfolds as inmates create chaos, while a woman named Milly, described as a troublemaker from her first day, instigates unrest among female prisoners by encouraging them to wreck the mess hall and refuse food, leading to escalating disorder that the guards must suppress. A third story involves a man named Michael and his wife Sandy, who receive a mysterious visit hinting at something dangerous at the Mayhew Mansion, leading to later revelations and complications in their lives.

When a soldier vanishes from the eerie Mayhew Mansion during a housing shortage, Mike Strong and his partner Sandy Quirk take on the case, following a lead from George Q. Peabody. As they question the soldier’s wife, Mrs. Williams, and the mansion’s caretaker Caleb, rumors of ghosts swirl—yet Strong is certain the truth lies in the shadows of the estate, not in the supernatural.
