A Day for Homicide
6 pp · crime

A cabdriver's struggle against poverty takes a violent turn when "Monk" Malone robs his fare and discovers a fortune—triggering a desperate crime spree that spirals beyond his control. As the police net tightens around the city, Malone finds himself trapped in a deadly chase with no way out.

Death Was His Business
8 pp · crime

Johnnie Bacon starts as a small-time hood running protection rackets in San Francisco, but after a botched job that kills an innocent shop owner, he flees to Los Angeles and catches the attention of the big-time criminal Vic Stone. Rising through the ranks as Stone's enforcer, Bacon becomes increasingly ruthless—orchestrating hijackings, sabotaging rival operations, and eliminating witnesses—until he returns to San Francisco with a new scheme to shake down businesses nobody else has dared to target. As his reputation grows darker with each assignment, Bacon's past and his vicious methods begin to close in on him.

Murder for Nothing
6 pp · crime

Pete Sandow sees easy money when Jane Lacey and May Marsden flash what looks like a big roll at Mike's tavern, and he invites himself into their world—only to discover that his targets are running the same con he is. When a Mickey Finn backfires and Pete's rage takes over, a night of small-time grifting turns into something far darker, leaving the detectives to untangle a crime scene that's been carefully staged to look like murder and suicide. A trace of blood and a single misstep are all it takes for the law to close in on a killer who murdered for nothing.

The Gun
6 pp · crime

When a brutal holdup and shooting at a neighborhood delicatessen puts Sergeant Force on the case, a reluctant witness finally comes forward—but not before the killer, a desperate young criminal named Johnny Marr, spots the plainclothes detectives closing in. What follows is a deadly confrontation as Force and his partner Kennedy track Marr through a rooming house, where a souvenir pistol—smuggled home from Korea and sold through black-market dealers—turns the hunters into hunted. Force must bring down the killer before anyone else pays the price for a gun that should never have left the battlefield.

Crime from Within
4 pp · crime

Patrolman Reilly believes his neighbor Mr. Hall, a witness for the Crime Commission investigating organized crime, is in genuine danger—despite his reputation as a chronic complainer—and vows to protect him. When Hall turns up dead and ruled a suicide, Reilly suspects foul play and launches his own investigation, uncovering a corruption ring that reaches into the police department itself. His dogged pursuit of the truth puts him directly in the line of fire from those desperate to silence him.
