Contains 7 stories
The Deadly Dummy!
7 pp · crime

Detective Jim Stutz and his sidekick Ed Coley catch a tough break when a dying dummy maker whispers only cryptic clues—a name, something about diamonds, and mention of "Mickey"—before expiring in his workshop. The trail leads them to Valli, a ventriloquist performing at the Main Theatre, whose dummy Mickey might be more than just a wooden prop. When a concealed gun rigged inside the dummy goes off during questioning, the detectives realize they're dealing with a killer willing to use the act itself as a weapon—and Ed and Jim must turn the tables using Valli's own stage routine to flush out the real murderer.

Mechanical Mantrap
7 pp · crime

A woman's desperate cry through a citizen alarm box sets Boston police on the trail of a brutal killer, but the real detective work begins when officers realize the victim's dying words might mean more than they initially thought. As the investigation narrows down a list of suspects, the mechanical alarm system that first saved her life becomes the key to catching a man who'd rather die than face justice. A taut crime tale that shows how Boston's innovative citizen alarm boxes work to keep criminals from slipping through the cracks.

The Strength to Kill
6 pp · crime

State Trooper John Morris investigates a locked-cabin murder when a young woman named Mary confesses to killing her brother Chris—but Morris suspects the answer isn't as simple as it appears. Testing Mary's strength and discovering a crucial piece of evidence at the scene, Morris uncovers an ingenious murder scheme that points to an unexpected killer with a hidden motive. A clever killer makes one fatal mistake, and Morris proves that brains may scheme the perfect crime, but a good cop's attention to detail always wins the day.

Suicide Seems Simple!!
5 pp · crime

When a young man's apparent suicide and his father's seemingly guilt-driven death are discovered in a banker's home, the hardened detectives dismiss it as a tragic double suicide—but a college-educated rookie cop named Bill Sullivan spots inconsistencies that suggest something far more sinister. Sullivan pushes back against his seasoned sergeant to expose what he believes is a calculated double murder orchestrated for profit, armed with nothing but textbook detective work and careful observation of the crime scene details.

Tell Tale Tommy-Gun
5 pp · crime

When a shooting accident at a private gun range leaves a man dead, a sharp police lieutenant suspects the crime scene tells a different story than the eyewitness accounts. Using ballistic evidence and the telltale ejection patterns of a tommy-gun, he uncovers a calculated murder hidden behind the chaos of an "accidental" shooting. A classic tale of how the smallest details—a few spent shell casings—can expose a killer's carefully laid plan.

An Almost Perfect Murder
6 pp · crime

A woman abused by her brutal husband devises an intricate scheme to frame him for murder—enlisting a dangerous criminal from across the hall and a carefully planted anonymous letter to set the perfect trap in "An Almost Perfect Murder." As Frank Monaghan's jealousy ignites and his gun comes into play, Rose watches her plan unfold, only to discover that revenge rarely goes exactly as planned. This 1948 crime tale asks whether justice was truly served when all three players pay the ultimate price.

Wrong Calibre Killer
7 pp · crime

Detective Johnny Meary has his man—career crook Georgie Prince admits to being at the scene of Jack Carr's murder, gun in hand—but Prince swears he didn't pull the trigger, and without proof of how he supposedly fired the fatal .32 bullet from his .38, Meary has to cut him loose by morning. Racing against the clock, the young detective notices one tiny detail in Prince's belongings that unravels the whole scheme and cracks the case wide open.
