Jane Arden, the crime reporter, uncovers a clever paycheck racket operating at a local war plant, where workers' genuine checks are being cashed using forged endorsements and stolen identification badges. As she investigates, she discovers that a loan shark named John Esom is orchestrating the scheme, using high-interest loans to trap desperate workers into participating in the theft. When Esom's gang realizes Jane is onto them, they attempt to silence her investigation through deception—but Jane must find a way to expose the truth before the frame-up against her sticks.

Famous Eastern Star Diamond Case

Crime reporter Jane Arden gets caught in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse when a stranger slips a valuable diamond—the famous Eastern Star—into her raincoat pocket without her knowledge, and a ruthless crook named Quill stops at nothing to track it down. As mysterious attacks, kidnappings, and deceptions pile up, Jane must piece together the truth behind the stolen gem before anyone else claims it—or worse. With help from an unexpected ally, she races to recover the diamond and expose the real culprits behind the chaos.

The Fake Book Publisher
8 pp

Crime reporter Jane Arden uncovers a scheme targeting grieving parents when she investigates a smooth-talking operator named Reedy Hilp, who's peddling memberships in a book of state heroes while simultaneously running a shady radio sales operation. As she digs deeper into his two-faced business, Jane poses as a magazine salesman to infiltrate his operation and gather evidence of his racket. What she discovers in those back rooms will put her in real danger and force a reckoning.

When a hit-and-run driver leaves a pedestrian injured and flees the scene, Jane Arden spots dried mud at the accident site—a detail that might be the key to tracking down the culprit. Working with the F.B.I. laboratory's soil analysis, she pursues a lead that takes her from the street to the courtroom in this 1948 crime tale about evidence that speaks louder than denial.
