☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains at least two stories based on authentic police cases. "The Fierce Murder" features detective Vic Flint investigating a case involving a jittery judge, a rare black eye, and strange circumstantial evidence connecting a woman named Vera Delle to a killer, with Flint ultimately discovering a black notebook that proves crucial to solving the crime. A second story focuses on Captain John J. King and detectives tracking "The Bullet-Proof Gang," a criminal organization operating across state lines, culminating in an undercover operation at a bank where the detectives attempt to apprehend the gang members and recover stolen bullet-proof vests.
A rookie cop named Bill Glynn discovers his respected uncle Edmund P. Glynn runs a sprawling crime empire controlling everything from gambling to graft across the Great Lakes metropolis. When a grand jury investigation threatens to expose the corruption, and a witness is murdered, Bill risks his career and life to fight back against his uncle's sinister influence. This 1951 true crime case shows how one young cop turned his family betrayal into a crusade for justice.
Vic Flint catches wind of the Jimmy Jerce murder—a well-known gambler whose death has left the police baffled—and begins piecing together a tangled web of suspects: a jittery judge, a mysterious blonde woman questioned at headquarters, and a thirty-thousand-dollar Welsh that keeps surfacing in the case. As Vic closes in on answers, he finds himself in the crosshairs of a killer willing to silence him before the truth comes out.
When bulletproof bandits strike banks across seven states, detectives Hugh Morgan and Pete Phinney dig through conflicting witness accounts and frustrating dead ends to track the gang's source—a black market arms dealer. The detective team hatches a dangerous plan to catch the criminals in the act, baiting them with themselves as bait in a calculated trap.
