P.S. You Murdered Him
6 pp · crime

George Kramme thinks he's gotten away with murder—literally—until mysterious letters start arriving, each one ending with a postscript that mentions Butch Evans, the gang member Kramme believed he'd silenced. As the cryptic messages pile up, Kramme's certainty crumbles, and he's forced to confront the terrifying possibility that the one witness who could destroy him might still be alive and coming back for revenge.

The Murdered Room-Mate
5 pp · crime; detective-mystery

When Scott Seven's evening out with Jazmin ends in shocking discovery—her room-mate Claire dead in their apartment—a chance find sets the detective on the trail: an empty picture folder and a scrap of newspaper. Scott realizes the missing photograph holds the key to exposing a murderer who'll stop at nothing to bury the evidence, and he races against time to prove it before the killer strikes again.

The Man Who Broke Into Prison
7 pp · crime

Warden Thompson recounts the bizarre case of George Maxon, a man who deliberately committed a crime to get himself imprisoned at State Pen—all part of a scheme to reunite with fellow robber Ed Farrow and access $300,000 hidden years before. When Maxon finally lands in the prison yard, he convinces the reluctant Farrow to help him break out, but their careful plans begin to unravel as complications mount. A taut crime tale that shows how desperation and greed can drive a man to do the unthinkable.

The Water Murder Case
3 pp · crime

Clint Danforth, a wealthy and callous clothing manufacturer, invites his business partner Harold Brink, his brother Walter, and his butler Merritt to his home for a weekend—only to announce he's liquidating everything and leaving for Europe, abandoning all three men to financial ruin. When Danforth goes to the kitchen that night seeking a glass of water, he meets a fatal end, and a clever detective must uncover which of his wronged guests pulled the trigger in this classic whodunit.

Loughran's Lost Life
7 pp · crime

Andy Loughran, caught between a well-meaning cop and a gang of troublemakers led by the dangerous Pug Bowers, finds himself in over his head when a robbery goes wrong. A blow to the head leaves Andy with complete amnesia—unable to remember his own name or what he's done—while Officer Quinn tries to piece together the crime and Pug fears Andy will talk. As Andy's memory teeters on the edge of returning, everyone around him has something at stake in whether the truth comes back.
