Hot Zircon
10 pp · crime

When Kip Dawn and his quick-witted assistant Poppy Fields stumble onto a pair of abandoned gloves, they uncover a clever gem swindle—one that leads them to a notorious con artist operating right under their noses. Using nothing but a microscope and some invisible laundry marks, the crime lab duo sets a trap to catch the perpetrators of the "hot zircon" racket before they can strike again.

The Bride Was Dead
9 pp · Crime

Sandra Nichols, a woman with plenty of enemies, invites her jilted ex-fiancés and her future father-in-law to her wedding—only to be found dead in her bridal chamber hours before the ceremony. Detective David Gouze must sift through three suspects with clear motives for murder: a jealous ex-lover, another jilted fiancée, and a disapproving father, each of whom had access to the bride's poisoned drink. But a set of hidden newspaper clippings about a hit-and-run accident and a blue convertible hidden in the garage suggest Sandra's past holds the key to her death.

Studio Murder
1 pp · crime

When a young artist turns up dead in his studio, his roommate John Whalen claims to have discovered the body—but the inspector grows suspicious when Stan's sister Jeannie reveals she somehow knew her brother was murdered before being told. As the detective closes in on the truth, a careless lie about a burned hand becomes the thread that unravels the killer's alibi in this classic puzzle-mystery from 1948.

Confession!
6 pp · Crime

When Henri Lemay bursts into the gendarmerie demanding arrest, he has a confession that shatters the peaceful village of Limoges—one born from a passionate love affair, a mysterious disappearance, and a wife's inexplicable obsession with never leaving their house. As Henri recounts the terrible truth about his marriage to Claudette Reynard and what drove him to a moment of murderous rage, the dark secret hidden in the wine cellar finally comes to light. A gripping tale of guilt, madness, and the sins that bind us to the places we most desperately want to escape.

The Case of the Telltale Bullet
4 pp · crime

When a jewelry store owner is shot and robbed, the masked gunman leaves behind only mystery—until Inspector Sheldon discovers a stray bullet at the crime scene. Nick Harder uses ballistics microscopy and forensic chemistry to reveal the telltale marks that will expose the truth, while insurance agent Rex Blaine watches science turn circumstantial suspicion into undeniable evidence.

The Body on the Beach
2 pp · crime

Joe Benson reluctantly attends a beach party at Tom Daly's house, where old professional rivalries and unexpected personal entanglements threaten to boil over—until a shocking discovery on the sand changes everything. With tensions running high and secrets laid bare, Joe finds himself caught in a dangerous situation where the past and present collide.

Double Handicap
7 pp · adventure; crime

When a valuable racehorse named Zephyr and his young caretaker, a girl named Lorna, are kidnapped en route to a championship race by gangsters working for the crime boss "Chips" Darkin, it falls to sky sheriff Breeze Lawton to track them down. Lorna's clever signal—spelled out in talcum powder on a desert ranch roof—tips off Breeze to their location, setting off a desperate chase across open country with a gang enforcer in hot pursuit. It's a high-stakes race against time as Breeze fights to get Lorna and Zephyr to the El Dorado track before Darkin's criminal scheme can fully play out.

The Dock Killers
5 pp · crime

A young detective-in-training takes a job as a water boy aboard a fishing vessel, only to witness a murder when the Skipper is killed one night at the dock. When the police arrest a small-time thief with the Skipper's stolen wallet, Dave Lance suspects the real killer is still at large—and uses a clever detail about that evening's movie to flush out the truth. "The Dock Killers," by Red Holmdale, reveals how a thirteen-year-old's first case would set him on the path to becoming the celebrated detective whose name strikes fear into criminals everywhere.
