Madman Paul Pollitt, Was He Really Crazy?
12 pp · crime
Officer Common Sense

Paul Pollitt's violent delusions and fake ailments finally catch up with him when a staged heart attack goes wrong during a confrontation with Sergeant Jespersen, leading to a brutal standoff and forced surrender. Pollitt's claims of mental illness crumble in court as the law proves he's a calculating criminal, not a madman—and his time behind bars only reveals the depths of his compulsive deceptions. A hard look at how criminals hide behind the insanity defense and what happens when the system calls their bluff.

The Case of the Superstitious Robber

Death Was in the Corner!
8 pp · crime; sports

Reporter Everett Kane witnesses a boxer's fatal plunge from a hotel window and is skeptical when it's ruled a suicide—especially when another fighter signed to face Duke Ridley turns up dead under similarly suspicious circumstances. Kane teams up with Lieutenant Curson to investigate whether Ridley is eliminating his opponents through staged deaths, and a third boxer may be in mortal danger if they can't stop him in time.

While the Chair Waited!
9 pp · crime

"Pinky" Whippet sits in the Governor's office facing execution for a murder conviction, desperately recounting his life story in hopes of proving his innocence—a journey from schoolyard bullying through petty crime and reform school that shaped him into the man now waiting for the electric chair. As he lays bare his past to a sympathetic Governor, forces he can't control begin to close in around him, each revelation pulling him deeper into a web of circumstance and suspicion. The noose tightens while the chair waits, and Pinky's only hope rests on whether the truth—or his version of it—will be enough to save him.
