In "On the Level" by C.H. Moore, two detectives investigate a murder by examining skeletal remains found on a farm, ultimately identifying the victim as a soldier through dental records and uniform buttons. The detectives trace the body to a doctor in Washington, D.C., and uncover a connection to a missing person case from years prior, leading them to pursue the truth about the farm's previous owner and the circumstances surrounding the death.

Bill McClune the Double-Crosser
13 pp · Crime
Officer Common Sense

Bill McClune is a blackmailer and con artist whose criminal career spirals into a web of his own double-crosses—betraying partners, manipulating innocents, and leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. Narrated by Officer Common Sense, this true crime tale follows McClune's schemes from petty extortion through robbery and murder, as the consequences of his treachery inevitably catch up with him. A cautionary story about the price of a life built on lies and betrayal.

Ralph Luther
8 pp · Crime

Ralph Luther and his partner Tony Francis pull off a bakery robbery on a freezing Chicago night in 1932, but their getaway spirals into a desperate flight from the law that stretches across seven years of violence and paranoia. When Ralph's obsession with revenge—and staying one step ahead of capture—finally pushes him to orchestrate an escape from prison, he discovers that the monster he's become is far more dangerous than any law enforcement closing in. A grim tale of how crime begets only more crime, with no way out.

"Death-House" Tony Torio
9 pp · Crime

"Death-House" Tony Torio follows a notorious criminal's violent downfall across five trials and six years of legal pursuit. When Tony agrees to help a woman named Susan Joyce with what she believes is detective work, she unknowingly becomes entangled in his robbery scheme—and a murder that sets off a chain of brutal crimes that will ultimately seal his fate. This true crime tale tracks how the law finally caught up with one of the country's most dangerous public enemies.

The Skeleton in the Cave
8 pp · Crime

When skeletal remains are discovered in a cave sixteen years after a Marine named Allen vanishes, scientific police work and a mysterious dental clue begin to unravel a tangled love triangle from the past. As detectives close in on their suspect—a woman scorned by Allen's plan to elope with another—she insists she had nothing to do with his disappearance, though her jealous actions that fateful night tell a different story. The hunt for the truth behind Allen's death becomes a race against time and memory.
