Almanac of Crime #1

This 148-page anthology of true crime stories features "Jo-Jo, Congo King," in which a man named Gahni is transformed by a mysterious force and pursues the warrior Rala through an African salt lake pass, culminating in a confrontation at a village of priestesses. Additional stories include "Don Wann," a Western thriller involving a man teaching a woman named Jane to swim before a life guard intervenes in their beach encounter, and an untitled story from police files depicting a domestic murder case where a jealous man kills his ex-wife's new lover. The collection emphasizes that "crime never pays" through its dramatization of criminal acts and their consequences.
