Allie CorcoranKate CorcoranKel MatzonDoc RomanoHorse NelsonManvisRichterTess

Allie Corcoran, a small-time hood with dreams bigger than his talents, gets his shot at the big time when he finds Kel Matzon—once a powerful crime boss—bleeding out near his shack after a failed assassination by rival Horse Nelson. When Allie and his wife Kate help Matzon recover, the wounded gangster sees potential in the ambitious young man and proposes a partnership: Allie's youth and nerve combined with Matzon's criminal expertise could make them unstoppable. As Allie is drawn deeper into Matzon's world, he's about to learn that crime carries a price far steeper than the money he dreams about.

Danny Conway's Doom

Danny ConwayHopkinsJill FosterJoePete

Danny Conway is a cold-blooded killer on the run after murdering reporter Hopkins—but when the wounded gangster desperately flees across the city's condemned rooftops, dodging police at every turn, fate has other plans for his escape. With nowhere left to go and the law closing in, Conway's arrogance and violence catch up with him in a way no gun could have prevented.

The Gun Moll

Larry BrockClaire NolanPat NolanMagaloniFrank

Claire Nolan is devoted to Larry Brock, a small-time hood her cop brother Pat despises—but when Brock and his crew botch a pawnshop job and a man dies, Claire finds herself caught between the criminal she loves and the law closing in. As Brock's desperation turns violent and the noose tightens, Claire discovers just how hollow his promises really are, and Pat's worst warnings about the man prove devastatingly accurate.

Barney RiordenLouDocChicMontieDaniel BauersHarry QuinnNora PetersLen Carver

When Barney Riorden's gang springs him from a jail cell the night before his execution, they hole up at Harry Quinn's motel—but Riorden's dangerous obsession with Quinn's fiancée, Nora Peters, threatens to unravel their hiding place and bring the law down on all of them. As Warden Daniel Bauers closes in on the fugitives, Nora must decide whether she'll protect the man who attacked her or let justice catch up with the Riorden mob.

This is the Tip-Off
3 pp · crime
Al JamesBull HansenGeorge Daly

When small-time thief Al James gets caught red-handed, he trades information about Bull Hansen's gang to secure a lighter sentence—proving that sometimes the criminal underworld itself provides law enforcement with its best leads. But the tip-off works both ways: when a college basketball star named George Daly is approached by a gambler offering a bribe, he alerts the F.B.I., and when an alert filling station attendant spots a wanted murderer, a simple phone call to police turns an ordinary citizen into a crime fighter. This 1952 crime story shows how the old-fashioned tip-off—whether from the streets, from honest people under pressure, or from vigilant bystanders—remains the law's most powerful weapon.
