From what I’ve been able to gather, I think they just have the writer wrong, it’s Isaac Asimov, and the book those two did together is The Space Merchants, which doesn’t appear to have to do with crime at all.

The first story also has a typo!

The book is a second printing in 1968 as well.

Could be right, just found a duo in the second story.

Doesn’t like doubles either.

Gotta get under that letter limit apparently.

Maybe each missing letter, if you find them all, will spell out a secret!

Don't forget to dot your i's and dot your t's!

I have a God emperor of Dune in Spanish, like a 3rd edition already… full of typos! including main character typos for example Duncan being renamed to Ducan for entire chapters. At the beginning was hilarious but it became super frustrating 😁
