In Suspense #164, “A Shroud for Sarah,” Lucille Ball stars as Sarah Martell, a woman whose ambition knows no bounds—not even murder. As her husband Peter campaigns for governor, Sarah secretly plans to betray him, striking deals with a political rival and a corrupt doctor, and rekindling a romance with an ex-con fresh off a heist. But when her manipulations spiral out of control, three men each take justice into their own hands—with fatal consequences. A political noir brimming with double-crosses, blackmail, and the ultimate comeuppance.
