Dame Fortune: Blackmail, Betrayal, and the Price of Survival

In Suspense #216, “Dame Fortune,” former stage actress Jean Marley—now Jean Nicholson—receives an unwelcome call from her past: Charlie Prescott, a bitter ex-con with a shared history, fresh out of prison and hungry for a cut of her wealthy husband's fortune. What begins as a blackmail threat turns into a deadly game of manipulation, deception, and calculated murder. As Jean struggles to maintain her façade, she spirals into a trap of her own making—one where even love can’t save her. A searing noir drama that twists the knife with every turn.
