Crime Fighting Detective #16
In "Wanton Murder," King Cole—ever the sharp-eyed enforcer of justice—steps in to protect the Ski-Hi Diamond Company with a million-dollar offer, only to be rejected. When the diamonds vanish during a staged fire, the culprit isn’t who they seem, and the case takes a dangerous turn. Art by Al McWilliams, with cover by L. B. Cole, this 1951 mystery from Star Publications delivers a classic noir twist with a pulse-pounding theft and a web of deception.
