Mary Hendricks discovers the mausoleum where a dead man's ghost appears to haunt him, but is found alone—the voices were merely echoes of his own screams. Police later apprehend a murderer named Salichon, who confesses to killing for a valuable coin collection; the coin is recovered and displayed in a French national library. A second story depicts a man learning self-defense in a primitive island hut, where he must defeat a deadly opponent in armed combat to survive the ordeal.
When a crime boss is murdered by his own gang lieutenants, the men think they've engineered the perfect takeover—until Marv Hendrick, left for dead in a lime pit, claws his way back with vengeance burning hotter than the acid that scarred him. One by one, the surviving members of the gang face a ghastly reckoning from a man who should be dead, hunting them down to settle old scores with brutal finality. In the snowy woods, the last man standing discovers that some debts can't be outrun.
When a wealthy coin collector in 1950s France is murdered for a priceless ancient coin, Detective Pierre Trucchi traces the crime back through a labyrinth of false identities and hidden connections—all bound by a two-thousand-year-old curse whispered about in underworld circles. As Trucchi pieces together clues from a mysterious postal box in Indo-China and a photograph that appears in two different apartments, the case spirals from one shocking death to another, pulling the detective ever closer to the truth. The coin's bloody legacy continues to claim victims, and Trucchi must untangle which of the men in his sights is truly responsible for Oscar Ravel's death.
A supermarket manager in Detroit falls victim to an armed robbery on an October night in 1950, bound and robbed of over $10,000 by two men who appear to have inside information. Police suspect an employee tipped off the thieves, launching an investigation into the crime. This non-fiction account chronicles the case of William Lamerato, also known as Sam Harris, a fugitive considered dangerous and wanted for armed robbery.
Georges Brullet's robbery of a sailor alongside his partners—orchestrated by the cunning Nanette Corot—lands him in the brutal French Guiana penal colony, where violence and desperation rule every waking moment. Tortured by guards and battling rival convicts for survival, Brullet plots his escape, but the odds of freedom in this hellhole are almost as deadly as the horrors within its walls. This gritty 1952 crime tale pulls no punches as it follows a man trapped between the savagery of the colony and his own desperate will to survive.
