Contains 4 stories
Killers on a Spree
10 pp · crime
Doc Keely (gang leader)

Doc Keely and his wanted gang seize a remote mountain hotel in the Catskill region, holding dozens of guests and staff hostage while they hole up from the law. What begins as a careful hideout quickly spirals into a display of casual cruelty and humiliation as the cornered killers toy with their prisoners—until an opportunity emerges for the hotel manager to slip away and potentially bring help. This gritty 1954 crime tale captures the arrogance and instability of men who know their time is running out.

Coney Island Jackpot
9 pp · crime
'Fats' Manning (thugarmored-car robber)

When two West Side thugs named "Fats" Manning and Bennie "The Bum" McMahon spot a lucrative armored-truck route at a Coney Island bank in 1934, they begin planning what could become the biggest cash robbery in U.S. history. Over eight weeks, Manning assembles a crew of seven men and orchestrates an elaborate stakeout at the Rubel Ice Company, the truck's regular stop, waiting for their moment to strike. All the careful planning and reconnaissance come down to one fateful afternoon in August when the robbery unfolds with stunning speed—but not everything goes according to plan.

Short Circuit Trap
4 pp · crime
Ellen Curran (hostage)

When a holdup man forces Ellen Curran to drive him away from a robbery at gunpoint, the young housewife realizes her only chance lies in quick thinking—and a knowledge of cars that might just keep him trapped. As police close in on the fugitive and Ellen's vehicle, her clever sabotage becomes the key to stopping him before he can vanish.

Bandit's Bride
6 pp · crime
Bob Meade (bandit)Ellen Farrel (his bride)

When Ellen Farrel marries the charming and generous Bob Meade after just two weeks of dating, she soon discovers he's living a double life—one moment showering her with expensive gifts, the next disappearing into the night with shadowy companions. As Ellen grows increasingly suspicious of her husband's true source of income and his evasive explanations, she must confront a painful choice between loyalty to the man she loves and doing what's right. Detective Samson's warnings about Bob's criminal path force Ellen to decide whether protecting her marriage means turning a blind eye to his crimes—a decision that will alter both their futures in ways she never anticipated.
