Authentic Police Cases #18

This anthology issue contains multiple police case stories. "Trail of the Gory Twenties" follows Detective Cahill's stakeout at Spindle's shop, where he observes a thief casing the location before the criminal strikes, ultimately leading to the suspect's capture when blood evidence proves he crawled away wounded rather than escaped cleanly. "Fifty Grand Frame-Up" details how the Fifteenth Precinct apprehends a robbery suspect in connection with a Czarina emerald theft, but the suspect claims he was framed by a man named Nevins who escaped from prison and needed money; detectives shoot the perpetrator during a jail break attempt. "Murder in Mink," "Rutzie Quits the Rackets," and other cases round out the issue's presentation of authentic criminal investigations.
