The Arson Racket!
10 pp · crime

When insurance investigator Larry Jameson's superiors at Hercules Insurance start noticing a suspicious pattern of fires destroying struggling businesses, they discover that Thomas Mara—a former convict with a talent for manipulation—has built a ruthless arson racket that preys on desperate owners facing bankruptcy. Mara offers to burn down their shops in exchange for a cut of the insurance payout, leaving his victims trapped between financial ruin and becoming unwilling accomplices to fraud. As the operation grows bolder and more violent, the insurance company moves to shut down the conspiracy before Mara's gang can torch another business.

Don't Let Me Die!
9 pp · crime

John Crain, a lawyer obsessed with a woman named Ruth, hatches an elaborate murder scheme against her fiancé Bob Javitt—luring him to a remote shack, drugging him, and keeping him chained while he figures out how to dispose of the body without a trace. But Crain didn't count on his prisoner's resourcefulness or the desperate signal Bob manages to send out before his captor can complete the perfect crime. This gritty 1951 crime tale, based on actual police files, follows the twisted cat-and-mouse game between killer and captive in a race against time.

Glen Roy Wright

Glen Roy Wright's criminal career stretches back to 1917, when an insubordinate act during his Army service led to a dishonorable discharge and prison time—a turning point that set him on a lifelong path of crime. Over decades of armed robberies and penitentiary stretches, Wright's defiant attitude never wavered, culminating in a life sentence in 1933 for an armed robbery in Stillwater, Oklahoma. In 1948, he escaped from McAlester State Penitentiary and remains at large, wanted by the F.B.I.

Shoe Shine

In the quiet town of Ashford Falls, tightfisted bank teller John Travis is known for pinching every penny—until a brazen bank robbery in 1939 gives him an unexpected opportunity. When Travis discovers he can pocket six thousand dollars from the heist without anyone knowing, he thinks he's found the perfect crime, but a single moment of uncharacteristic generosity sets the police on his trail. Based on actual crime files, "Shoe Shine" shows how one small, out-of-character act can unravel even the most careful plan.

Who Killed Emma Brewster?

When a young woman named Emma Brewster is found murdered in her locked home, suspicion falls on John Henry, a man accused of leaving London on a suspicious train just hours before the crime. The evidence against him crumbles under scrutiny—witnesses contradict themselves, tickets don't line up, and the murdered woman's stolen jewelry mysteriously reappears in the sealed house while Henry sits in jail, proving him innocent beyond doubt. But Henry's freedom comes at a terrible cost in this baffling true crime tale from *Wanted* Magazine's new "Great Unsolved Mysteries" series.
