Crime and Punishment #66

Nick Lugo, a vicious arsonist from the slums, is hired by Ike Doyle to burn down two houses belonging to men who sent Doyle to prison—and he's willing to do it for the right price. As Nick carries out the jobs with his associate Kitty, the police close in on him, setting off a desperate manhunt that spans weeks and states. This hard-hitting crime tale follows Lugo's violent path as the law tightens around him.

Three crooks—Jake, Pete Gruber, and Joe Wirtz—pull off a series of armored car robberies to fund their dreams of easy living, but their partnership crumbles when loyalties fracture under pressure and suspicion. As the heat closes in and the stolen cash becomes a curse rather than a prize, the two remaining thieves find themselves cornered with nowhere left to run.
