Two escaped convicts track down the man whose testimony put them behind bars, taking him and his girlfriend hostage in a desperate bid to evade capture and exact their vengeance.

5.67 pp · crime

"Bullet" Moroni infiltrates gang leader Mitch McKinnon's mob fresh out of prison, earning a fearsome reputation for his deadly trigger finger—but when McKinnon is cornered during a bank job, Moroni makes a fateful decision that sets him on a collision course with Danny McKinnon, Mitch's brother and the gang's original kingpin, who's just been released from prison himself. As power and loyalty collide within the underworld, Moroni discovers that gangland's first law—eliminate loose ends at any cost—cuts both ways, and his past sins are about to catch up with him in ways he never anticipated.

Insurance Dirt
8 pp · crime

Private eye Chuck Riggs is down on his luck when two thugs drag him to meet Oscar Ulton, a mysterious underworld racketeer with a taste for sport cars and multiple estates. Ulton offers Riggs a lucrative scheme: he'll provide stolen goods, and Riggs will pose as a finder returning them to insurance companies for a cut—no questions asked. As Riggs gets pulled deeper into Ulton's operation, he discovers that "prosperity" comes with a price far dirtier than he bargained for.

In 1932, a nervous farmer-turned-bootlegger named Sam Alston struggles to collect payment from his distributor, the mobster Bart Roscoe—but when a rival gang makes a bloody play for Roscoe's operation, Alston finds himself at the center of a violent crossfire with nowhere safe to turn. A chance encounter with children selling raffle tickets sets events in motion that will test whether Alston can survive the criminal underworld he's stumbled into, or if the debts and betrayals will catch up with him first.
