Dynamite #8

Johnny Dynamite gets word that George Kirby—a dangerous criminal who vowed revenge three years ago—has just broken out of prison, and Johnny races to protect Lilly Leeds, the woman who helped put him away. What starts as a manhunt through the city's seedier corners takes a sharp turn when Johnny uncovers a scheme far more twisted than a simple vendetta, forcing him to question everything he thought he knew about the people closest to him.

As a claims investigator for the Great East Fire Insurance Company, Ward Keeler knows that arson and human nature often go hand in hand—but the fire that tears through the corner of Twenty-Eighth and Grand proves far more twisted than simple revenge. When a second blaze destroys the same building, Keeler's routine investigation uncovers dangerous secrets hidden in the ashes, leading him face-to-face with someone willing to kill to keep them buried. This 1954 tale of "Fire Bug" peels back the layers of greed, deception, and murder smoldering beneath the wreckage.
