Edward CokeLuke GilesCarruthers

Two hardened criminals—Edward Coke and Luke Giles—meet in Alton State Prison and bond over their violent pasts, each nursing fresh grievances about their sentences. When they discover they're kindred spirits, they begin plotting an escape, fashioning a makeshift weapon and seizing their chance during a work detail. What follows is a desperate flight that tests whether two men with nothing but survival instinct can actually stay ahead of the law.

Excuse for Murder
9 pp · crime
Bill Hale

Bill Hale arrives in Fairfax, Oklahoma as a drifter with big ambitions, and quickly teams up with liquor trafficker Henry Grammer to build an empire through illegal operations in Osage County. But Hale's real scheme lies hidden in plain sight—a ruthless system targeting the local Indian population that will eventually draw the attention of the F.B.I. and lead to his downfall. This 1954 true crime tale traces how greed and calculated murder drive an ambitious criminal from small-time con work to his eventual reckoning.

Crime Without Motive
6 pp · crime

Frank Denham, a career criminal with a lengthy rap sheet, finds hope in his wife's belief that he's changed—enough to convince the warden and parole board to release him after five years inside. But when a pawnbroker is murdered just two weeks after his release, Frank becomes the prime suspect, and the evidence against him proves far more damning than circumstance alone, forcing a reckoning between his past and the fragile life he's tried to build.
