☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeAn anthology issue featuring multiple stories, including one about a man trying to collect overdue car payments from a debtor who offers various excuses and schemes to avoid settling his debt. Another story involves journalists working on copy at a newspaper office, with references to pursuing a story. A third story, "Luke the Lawyer," depicts a legal professional dealing with a client accused of stealing a car, where the accused claims he took a sackful of silverware from the car owner's house instead, using this as justification for the alleged theft.
Police reporter Hurry-Up Harrigan arrives at headquarters to investigate the shooting death of wealthy financier Austin Leonard—a man found dead from a revolver shot with no gun in sight. As Harrigan digs into the case, he uncovers a carefully concealed mechanism hidden in Leonard's garage that points to a far more complicated truth than a simple murder. The ace newsman's relentless pursuit of the story leads him to confront both the inspector and Leonard's own brother in a race to solve what becomes known as "The Riddle of the Reluctant Revolver."
A swift phantom raider has been terrorizing merchant ships along the American coast, striking with deadly precision and vanishing before the Navy can respond. Captain Courageous devises a daring trap: bait the corsairs with a tanker laden with fuel oil, the very prize they desperately need. But the bait comes with a hidden price—one the raider's crew won't see coming until it's far too late.
