Contains 4 stories
Smoked-Out
7 pp

Ralph Marlow's marriage is crumbling under the weight of his wife Eva's infidelity, and his rage consumes him as he fantasizes about revenge—but when a moment of cold logic stops him from acting on impulse, he devises a far more calculated plan to eliminate her. Over weeks of careful preparation, buying cigarettes and establishing a pattern, Ralph sets his scheme in motion on a quiet evening at home. What unfolds is a twisted game of patience and misdirection, where a man's hatred finds its darkest expression in the everyday details of domestic life.

Double Trouble
6 pp

Leonard Harvey thought his marriage was solid enough—his gorgeous young wife Gloria seemed content, and he had a successful trucking business. But when Gloria meets one of his drivers during a chance visit to the garage, a dangerous affair begins that will push them both toward a desperate plan: staging an accident with a ten-ton truck to collect insurance and finally be together. In "Double Trouble," the scheme that seems so foolproof is about to teach them a harsh lesson about the price of greed and betrayal.

Two-of-a-Kind!
6 pp

Eileen Stanley has endured thirty-one years under her domineering mother's control, but when she meets Frank Prescott at the local butcher shop, she finally sees a chance at freedom and a life of her own. As Eileen and Frank prepare to act on a plan that will change everything, a unexpected visitor at the door threatens to unravel their carefully laid scheme. This 1954 crime tale explores how desperation and obsession can push two people toward darkness.

The Thief!
6 pp

After twenty-five years as an accountant at Layton and Layton, Roger Crown is fired—and the humiliation pushes him to a desperate act of theft from the Commerce Building safe he once knew intimately. But when his escape is interrupted by a night watchman, Crown's crime spirals into something far darker, setting him on a collision course with his former employers that he can't outrun.
