John Dillinger Desperado to the Death
9 pp · crime

When John Dillinger walks out of Indiana State Prison in 1933, he wastes no time making good on a joke about robbing banks—within days, he and his gang hit their first score, and by fall they've orchestrated a string of violent heists across the Midwest. As his bloody deeds pile up and his face plasters police bulletins from coast to coast, Dillinger's arrogance grows, convinced that a smart guy like him can outsmart the law where others fail. The manhunt intensifies as authorities close in, but this desperado remains confident that his luck—and his ruthlessness—will see him through.

Bloody Hideout
5 pp · Crime

A wounded crime boss and his partners hole up after a violent heist, but tensions run high as suspicion and desperation breed paranoia within their hideout. When the criminals force a doctor and his wife to help, they set in motion events that will test whether loyalty—or survival—matters more in a den of thieves.

Hear No Evil
4.75 pp · crime

Eugene Miller's life spirals downward from the moment a prison fight leaves him partially deaf and consumed by rage—a disability that only feeds his violent obsession with crime and power. Pairing with a gang of criminals, Miller plans increasingly bold robberies and heists, but his unpredictable brutality and hair-trigger temper make him a danger even to his own crew. As his crime spree escalates, Miller careens toward an inevitable reckoning that his hearing loss and unchecked cruelty have made unavoidable.

The Human Fly
5.75 pp · Crime

Jay Peters, a carnival performer with uncanny lock-picking skills and the acrobatic prowess of his moniker "the Human Fly," teams up with a young contortionist named Steve Bayes in 1942—a partnership that quickly turns criminal when a security guard discovers their scheme. Evading to California, the pair launches a string of high-profile heists that make headlines, but a clever detective's unconventional gambit threatens to unravel everything. This true crime tale follows the rise and fall of one of the era's most baffling criminals, told with the pulp-noir punch that made Crime Does Not Pay a sensation.
