The Fighter and the Fixer
8 pp · crime

Steve Duncan hears that prizefighter Mitch Perone has broken his promise to his late manager Eddie Winston and agreed to fight again—for a hefty fee from promoter Ace Larmer. Suspecting foul play, Steve tracks down Eddie's daughter Grace and uncovers a ruthless scheme: Larmer is betting heavily that Mitch will survive the bout, knowing that another hard blow to the head could prove fatal. Now Steve must race to expose Larmer's murderous gambit before the fighter steps into the ring.

The Hottest Car
6 pp · crime

Tony Arrow hatches a scheme to smuggle gold to Europe hidden in his car's bumper—a fortune in black-market profit that seems foolproof until a clumsy accident aboard the ocean liner exposes his cargo. Desperate to escape questioning and a murder charge, Tony finds himself cornered deeper and deeper into the ship's bowels, with nowhere left to run and nowhere to hide.

Private Entrance to...Death
5 pp · crime

When shrewd crook Lefty Jaret assembles the city's most dangerous criminals to pull off a daring million-dollar heist on the Commercial Trust Bank, he's convinced he's found the perfect angle: a secret tunnel through an abandoned storm sewer that leads straight to the vault. As Lefty and his crew—including a master torch man, a nitro expert, and a calculating professor—execute their meticulous plan, they discover that even the cleverest scheme can't outsmart fate itself.

The Hottest Alibi in Town
3 pp · crime

Albie Franchon is a crook with a foolproof system: he pays local thugs to claim he was playing poker while he commits his crimes, keeping his alibi airtight. But when a kerosene lamp ignites during a brawl at the card room—the very place meant to vouch for him—Albie's careful plan goes up in smoke, and Detective Vincent arrives with the truth and nowhere left to hide.

The End of a Good Thing
2.67 pp · crime

Crooks Bummy Gordon and Doc Hurley run a nasty extortion racket: Bummy stages a fake fight outside a nightclub, "dies" at the hands of an innocent bystander, and Doc poses as a concerned doctor to shake down the mark for hush money. When their latest victim decides to come clean to the authorities, the con artists discover that playing judge and jury with other people's lives has a price—and crime, as always, proves to be far from perfect.
