The Perfect Crime #19

This issue contains two stories. "The Perfect Crime" features Steve Duncan trapping a trigger-mad killer in a "$100,000 Hoax," though the specific plot details of this story are not fully visible in the sampled pages. "Let a Criminal Overlook One Detail" follows a man who murders his uncle for a valuable ruby and inheritance, planning to shoot him and inherit his gems and money, but his scheme unravels when a stray bullet kills an innocent person. "Of Denizens of the Underworld!" depicts Sam, a crime boss, whose collected money becomes distributed through corrupt channels—funding dishonest cops, judges, politicians, and hitmen—demonstrating how blood money perpetuates criminal networks, with a specific dollar bill (serial number A 3452, 1863 N) serving as the story's focal point as it circulates through the underworld's economy.
