The Moll Who Gambled on Murder
8 pp · crime

A con man and his accomplices eliminate a problem witness and pocket a fortune—but their careful scheme to stay under the radar hits a snag when one of them, a hard-boiled woman named Millie, sets her sights on an even bigger score by romancing a wealthy mark into a crooked gambling racket. As the confidence game spirals across state lines, the criminals must juggle mounting greed, suspicion, and the ever-present risk that one slip-up will bring the cops down on all of them.

Teen-age Gangs Tangle With Cops!
6 pp · crime
Patrolman Bob Casey

Patrolman Bob Casey goes undercover in a tough Eastern city plagued by teenage gang warfare, posing as a crook on the run to infiltrate the Jaspers and earn their trust. As rival gangs—the Jaspers led by Vinnie Mallon and the Dukes under Petey Hilser—prepare for a violent confrontation armed with zip guns and switchblades, Casey finds himself racing against time to prevent bloodshed. With a Saturday night clash looming and suspicion closing in from within the gang's own ranks, the young cop must navigate a dangerous web of loyalty and deception to stop the impending battle.

Cover Up For Murder
8 pp · crime

A young veteran discovers the house he purchased in a new development violates building codes, but when he gathers evidence against the crooked builders behind the scheme, a mysterious figure steals his documents and disappears—then an ambitious detective begins asking questions that make the criminals desperate. As the investigation deepens, the stakes turn deadly, and uncovering the truth becomes far more dangerous than anyone anticipated.

Hit-and-Run Killer!
4 pp · crime

Two days after a payroll heist, the only witness who could identify the robbers is struck down and killed by a hit-and-run driver—and Inspector Harmon and Detective Neal Foley of the police laboratory must piece together a crime scene with almost no eyewitness account. When a distinctive tire tread becomes the key to tracking down the death car, the investigation closes in on the criminals behind both the robbery and the murder. "Hit-and-Run Killer!" showcases how meticulous forensic work—from plaster casts to tire-tread analysis—can crack a case when witnesses fail.

The Killer Who Played CORPSE
6 pp · crime
Inspector Chip Singleton

When a woman named Helen Craig arranges to ship a trunk from a riverfront rooming house, an expressman's suspicious encounter with red liquid nearly derails her plan—but an ambulance surgeon's discovery of blood seeping from the trunk brings Inspector Chip Singleton and the homicide squad racing to the scene. As Singleton pieces together clues the killer overlooked—a mysteriously cleaned door frame, a trunk that shouldn't exist, and the confusion of two roomers' identities—he uncovers a conspiracy far more deliberate than a panicked murder.
