The Perfect Crime #20

When a man dies in the Korean War, his buddy Tommy Talent thinks it's case closed—until years later, a murder back home doesn't add up, and the only suspect who could've committed it is supposed to be six feet under. Talent devises a dangerous trap, announcing his engagement to Alice Farrell to draw out the killer he's convinced is still alive, leading to a final confrontation that exposes a soldier's desperate scheme to fake his own death and keep the woman he loved all to himself.

Frankie Gerber and Vance Linden pull off what looks like the perfect payroll heist at Simpson's Food Fair, knocking out a guard and slipping away before the alarm can be raised—until a cop's whistle forces them to flee into the woods. On the run and desperate for shelter, the two crooks discover what seems like an ideal hideout among the trees, but something about the place feels deeply wrong.

Two street robbers, Ben Darcy and Al Mitchell, score their biggest haul yet—until greed over how to split the take turns them against each other, and a chance encounter at the hospital brings their crime crashing down. A sharp lesson in how "too much prosperity" can destroy partners faster than any cop ever could.
