When a series of brutal murders plagues a government refrigerating plant under construction, the builder Randolph Woods finds himself caught between a criminal conspiracy and a dark secret from his past—one that could destroy everything he's worked for if exposed. As The Flame investigates the frozen deaths terrorizing the workers, Woods must decide whether to cooperate with the hero or protect the truth that could unmask his real identity. Sabotage, murder, and blackmail converge in this icy thriller where one man's hidden past may be the key to stopping a killer.
Tremendous tidal waves devastate the Atlantic Coast, and The Flame discovers the catastrophe is no act of nature—but the work of a malevolent creature from the deep who commands the seas for sinister purposes. As the villain sets his sights on destroying New York and Boston, The Flame races to stop the supernatural onslaught, unaware of the full scope of his enemy's power and cunning. Racing against time and towering walls of water, The Flame must uncover the truth behind the Devil of the Deep before another city falls.
When a mysterious villain wielding a deadly substance called the Green Death plots to steal a French count's priceless emeralds, private investigator Gary Preston and his allies must stop her before she can use her gruesome weapon. Madame La Farge, a cunning Nazi spy with a talent for disguise, sets her scheme in motion—but she hasn't counted on the intervention of the Flame. As the villain closes in on her prize, the stage is set for a fiery confrontation at the gallery that will determine who controls the emeralds and the fate of those caught in her path.
A ruthless villain calling himself the Ambassador of Death systematically assassinates South American leaders friendly to the United States, framing American diplomats to sabotage the Good Neighbor Policy—all part of a sinister Nazi plot to seize control of the continent. When the plot reaches the President of Brazil, the Flame intervenes to stop the carnage, but the cunning Ambassador has prepared a deadly trap that forces our hero into an impossible choice. With the stakes escalating and innocents caught in the crossfire, the Flame must race against time to expose the true villain and restore democracy to South America.
At an army camp plagued by poison dart murders, Yank and the Rebel stumble onto the killer's trail—but the mystery deepens when a canteen girl named Gale vanishes and the two heroes find themselves caught in a deadly game orchestrated by forces far darker than a simple murderer. With the killer's identity and his connection to sinister plans gradually revealed, the pair must race against time to stop an assassination attempt and uncover the truth before it's too late.
