Find That Girl!
7 pp · detective-mystery

Detective Sergeant Mark Fabian and his partner Pat Polo are assigned to find Betty, a seventeen-year-old girl who vanished three days ago—and what starts as a simple missing persons case takes a dark turn when they discover she may be hiding at a notorious syndicate-run nightclub. As the detectives close in, they uncover secrets about the girl's strict home life, her secret date, and a dangerous world she may have been drawn into, forcing them to navigate both the mob's territory and the truth behind her disappearance.

The Vandals
6 pp · crime

Detective Sergeant Mark Fabian and his partner Pat Polo are hunting a gang of vandals tearing through the same neighborhood night after night, destroying property out of pure meanness. When a false fire alarm leads to a firefighter's serious injury, the detectives track down a young accomplice named Frankie Boyd and force him to confront the real cost of his recklessness—only to discover the gang's ruthless leaders won't let him walk away. A hard-hitting crime story about how casual destruction and peer pressure can spiral into something far darker than anyone intended.

The Cop!
6 pp · detective-mystery

A cop named Kenny Cogan finds himself becoming the unlikely hero to young Buddy Wallace, a lonely boy whose hardworking father can't seem to find time for him—but when Buddy's hero worship leads him into real danger, the story takes a turn that will force both men to reckon with what it truly means to be someone's hero. Written by and illustrated with genuine warmth, "The Cop!" is a touching reminder that sometimes the greatest act of heroism isn't about the uniform you wear, but the sacrifices you're willing to make for those you care about.

Fall Guy!
6 pp · detective-mystery

Detective Sergeant Fabian catches a bank robbery in progress and pursues the lead through forensic evidence—tire tracks and footprints point to career criminal Bull Scanlon—but the investigation takes an unexpected turn when a nervous bank employee, Leonard Thomas, becomes the center of suspicion. As Fabian digs deeper into Thomas's debts and connections to Scanlon, he uncovers how desperation and gambling can turn an ordinary man into someone else's fall guy. This 1955 case file reveals how one bad decision sets off a chain reaction that destroys more lives than just the criminals'.
