☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"The Perfect Crime" #29 is a true-crime anthology featuring two stories presented as factual police cases. "Murder Makes a Gunman's Life" depicts four convicts who spend two weeks spreading dirt around a prison bull pen to accumulate enough soil for an escape tunnel, ultimately leading to a breakout attempt and subsequent recapture. The second story, untitled in the visible pages, details an elaborate horse-racing con operation in which a swindler named Grey manipulates a man named White into increasingly larger bets by rigging the race results through a hidden microphone system, ultimately defrauding him of substantial sums before the scheme unravels.
Steve Duncan thought he was helping a beautiful woman keep her father, the ex-con Zep Valone, out of trouble—but when a gangster named Beppo forces Zep into casing a bank job under threat of murder, the whole scheme spirals into a deadly trap. Now Steve must race against time to stop a robbery and uncover what Beppo really has planned for Zep, before someone pays the ultimate price.
Lonny Bond thinks he's found the perfect way to eliminate his romantic rival Vince—by spiking the other man's coffee with a knockout drug to make him look like a drunk on the job. But when his scheme spirals into a brutal machinery duel on a construction site, Lonny discovers that some debts can't be paid off, and some women leave nothing but wreckage behind.
Two ambitious real estate partners, Everett Ulrig and Burton Wylie, plan a relaxing fishing trip to Burton's mountain lodge—but Burton has other plans in mind, having arranged something far more sinister for the isolated drive through the hills. When their vacation takes a deadly turn, one man's scheme to become sole owner of their business sets off a chain of consequences neither could have predicted.
A two-bit crook named Cat Olway spots a blind panhandler raking in steady change and decides the old man's stash is ripe for the taking. Following him to a ramshackle shack on the edge of town, Cat creeps in under cover of darkness, convinced his mark won't even know he's been robbed—until he discovers the blind man isn't blind at all. What unfolds is a brutal collision between two criminals with very different ideas about who's running the con.
