¡Perjuro! (S.I.P. Special International Police)
This Spanish-language pulp publication from 1959 contains "¡Perjuro!" (Perjury) by W. Sampas, published by Ediciones Toray in Barcelona. The narrative centers on the Special International Police (SIP) and its chief Donald Callowan's pursuit of criminal Frank Tompkins. Tompkins has operated a protection racket against transport companies shipping cargo between New York and Boston spaceports for two years. When the General de Transportes refuses to pay additional profits, Tompkins loses control and orders the incineration of eleven trucks, providing Callowan the evidence needed to move against him. The story follows Callowan coordinating a massive police operation to trap Tompkins and his accomplices Robinson and Lyman, who are surrounded on Route 37 as dawn approaches. Trapped and facing execution or life imprisonment at Sing-Sing, Tompkins desperately searches for an escape strategy while awaiting daylight and inevitable capture.
