The Hot Rod Gang
10 pp · car; crime

A reckless group of teenage hot-rodders, led by Gene Paige and his girlfriend Peggy, spiral from joyriding to escalating violence after a late-night encounter with a pedestrian. As their thrill-seeking turns dangerous, they commit a deliberate mugging, unaware that their actions are being traced by detectives using a license plate impression left in the mud.

Ten Cents a Murder
8 pp · crime

Bud Cashby, a slick conman with a knack for quick schemes, seizes on a chance to manipulate the coffee market after a gambling debt forces him into a desperate plan. Using blackmail and fear, he orchestrates a campaign of intimidation against grocers who refuse to buy his overpriced coffee, turning his desperation into a ruthless business operation. As tensions escalate and violence looms, Cashby’s web of lies begins to unravel — but the consequences are far from what he expected.

Hot Money
2 pp · crime

A young man named Caleb Tooker, the office bookkeeper, claims he tried to scare off a burglar by throwing burning light bulbs at the intruder, only to discover too late that the man was his boss. When Inspector Dane questions his story, he points out a critical flaw: Tooker said he held the bulbs after they’d been burning for four hours, but no one could survive touching them that long without severe burns. The story hinges on this impossible detail, exposing Tooker’s lie and suggesting a much darker truth behind the night’s events.

Queer Money
