Crime Detective Comics v3 #8 This issue contains at least two stories. In the first, a man named Max and a woman aboard the S.S. Luxuria discuss smuggling operations and racketeering profits from high-class spots in Europe, involving a stolen book that becomes central to a police investigation. In "The Candle Man," a desperate unemployed man named Sam takes a job from real estate agent Mort Eagan to burn down a toy factory on Woodline Avenue as an insurance fraud scheme, setting the building ablaze and leaving behind candle-based evidence of arson.
