Young King Cole #11

In "The Black Smoke Curse," King Cole takes on a high-stakes case when the Ski-Hi Diamond Company refuses his offer of detective protection for a million dollars—only to have their diamonds stolen by a group of suspiciously familiar fake firemen. With his sharp instincts and unshakable resolve, King Cole dives into a mystery that smolders with danger, all drawn in bold, expressive style by Al McWilliams, whose dynamic artwork brings the noir tension to life. The cover, by L. B. Cole, captures the eerie glow of the smoke that haunts the case from the very first page.
