Shocking Mystery Cases #56
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# "The Chase!" A criminal is sought by police and hunted by his own henchmen after a botched holdup. In a separate case, "The Case of Lina Vanishyn," two men named Pete and Lon orchestrate the theft of money and the disappearance of a woman named Lina, but the stolen funds are recovered and the criminals are caught and sentenced to prison. The issue also features a story in which a man kills his own brother in a struggle, leading to his eventual capture and a warning about the dangers of violence.
A meek accountant named Finsten A. Yohl has spent months planning the perfect heist, and when he finally walks into Matt Browder's gambling operation to audit the books, he seizes his moment—pulling a gun and making off with seventy-five thousand dollars. Now Yohl finds himself caught between two ruthless forces: Browder's murderous henchmen determined to reclaim the cash and kill him, and the police closing in from every direction as he desperately races through the city trying to reach safety.
In "Wicked Cheat...", immigrant Lina Vanishyn walks away from her diner job to join Pete and Lon in a dangerous con, using a mysterious drug that makes her victims comply with her every suggestion. The story unfolds with a tense, shadowy atmosphere, as Lina’s new role tests her loyalty and pushes her into a world where trust is the most fragile currency.
