6 pp · Adventure
Lt. Bob Nelson (first appearance)Dan Arello (villain)Leo (villain)`

When Lt. Bob Nelson stands up Zaza for police business, the gypsy mystic's uncanny intuition kicks in—she senses danger at a local cashier and helps Nelson stop a would-be holdup. But her premonitions grow darker: a vivid dream warns of gangsters and gunfire, and Zaza realizes the FBI's hunt for a bank-robbing crew may put the detective she cares for in real peril. Racing against her visions, she sets events in motion to protect Nelson from the fate she foresees, only to find herself caught in the very crossfire she feared.

Park Avenue Party

Lt. Bob NelsonMrs. DennisWinston Hager (villain)Lupo (villain)Lou (villain)

When Winston Hager hires Zaza to entertain wealthy guests at his lavish penthouse party, Lt. Bob Nelson arrives to watch over the jewels—but both of them quickly discover the host and his accomplices are using the evening's mystic performances as cover for a sophisticated heist. As Zaza's shrewd deduction and quick thinking turn the tables on Hager and his crew, the real trick becomes keeping herself and Bob alive long enough to see the crooks face justice.

Lt. Bob NelsonCobbWilmer Benton (villain)Thorpe (villain)O'Rell (villain)

Za Za the Mystic poses as a fortune teller to investigate a suspicious stock operation run by Wilmer Benton, infiltrating his office and uncovering a major fraud scheme hidden in his safe. When Benton discovers her snooping, Za Za must use her wits to alert Lt. Bob Nelson before the crooked operator can silence her. Sharp observation and quick thinking prove more valuable than any crystal ball in bringing the criminals to justice.

Penthouse Prisoner

Louie Lou (first appearance)Augie Schmidt (villain)Eddie (villain)

When Louie Lou finds hundred-dollar bills drifting down from a penthouse, a message scrawled on one bill leads him and his son to investigate the tower's mysterious resident. What they discover is far more complicated than a simple mystery—Augie Schmidt, once the head of a gambling ring that the police shut down months ago, is a prisoner in his own luxury penthouse, held captive by members of his own gang who are desperate to find hidden loot. Armed with quick thinking and a forged stack of cash, Louie Lou maneuvers his way inside to expose the truth, setting off a dangerous chain of events among the trapped criminals.
