In "Suicide Tower!", the Captain finds himself at the center of a high-stakes mystery aboard a luxury cruise, lured in by the Ace Crime Writers Club's plea for protection—though their real motive is far less noble. With tension rising and a murder committed right under his nose, the Captain must untangle a web of deception among the club's members, all while the ship itself seems to hold deadly secrets. Paul Norris handles both pencils and inks for the story, while Leonard Starr delivers the moody, dramatic cover.
