This Spanish-language detective pulp story, "Rumbo a Sing-Sing" (I Go to Sing-Sing) by Arnold Briggs, translated by F.J. Robles, follows private detective Craig Henderson tracking criminal Edgar Wilder across South America. Henderson, working for a New York agency specializing in "lost cases," pursues the death-sentence fugitive through Miami, Panama, and Guayaquil. In Ecuador, Henderson seduces nightclub performer Marta Karel, who harbors the fugitive, by offering her five hundred dollars and a drugged whisky bottle. After Wilder loses consciousness from the narcotic, Henderson retrieves him and transports him via airplane back to New York, handcuffed to the captive during flight. The narrative details the detective's methodical approach to capture and his interactions with flight attendant Marcia Scott during the journey.
