Contains 4 stories
Seven Years Late for Death
8 pp · crime

Vinny Byer, a career criminal, barely escapes a botched 1944 payroll heist with $140,000 but crashes and is captured before he can retrieve his loot—a fortune he manages to hide near an abandoned house before police find him. Seven years later, fresh out of prison and haunted by the memory of his buried prize, Vinny returns to the area and sets out to locate the money, but his search draws the attention of dangerous old associates who want a cut of the score. What should have been a simple recovery becomes a desperate race against time and treachery.

Joe Dollar's Last Loan
8 pp · crime

In 1954, Joe Dollar—a ruthless underworld banker who finances everything from fleeing mobsters to crooked bookmakers—sets his sights on taking over Big Nat Coleman's lucrative gambling operation. When Coleman refuses a partnership, Dollar orchestrates an elaborate scheme involving a fixed horse race that forces Coleman to the brink of financial ruin, leaving him no choice but to sell a half-interest in his business. But as Dollar consolidates his power and tightens his grip on Coleman's organization, the two men begin a dangerous game of cat and mouse, each watching for the chance to eliminate the other.

The Jensen-Kelly Feud
8 pp · crime

When rival dock gangs—Leo Jensen's crew and Skip Kelly's outfit—clash over control of a lucrative pier operation, neither reckoning with the other's ruthlessness or the police detail quietly building their case. As the two organizations reluctantly agree to split the take from a massive cargo heist, tensions explode into violence that threatens to consume them all. Written by the creative team behind this hard-hitting crime tale, this gritty waterfront showdown captures the brutal underworld of 1950s port theft at its peak.

The Man Who Couldn't Die
6 pp · crime

When Doc Wheaton quits Vannie Berg's crime syndicate and threatens to expose the mob's secrets, he becomes an untouchable target—protected by the very evidence that could destroy them all. As Berg and his outfit struggle to eliminate the man they can't touch without sealing their own fates, detectives Wentz and Cleary circle closer, hoping to pry loose the papers that could finally bring the empire down. A tense cat-and-mouse game unfolds where Doc's only shield is the knowledge locked away with his lawyer, and every move—by mobster or cop alike—could be his last.
