Red Circle 4 (1948). Movie Tie-In
The movie based on Don Martin's novel is a low budget film noir called "Shed No Tears" (1948). It was directed by Jean Yarbrough and it stars Wallace Ford and June Vincent, who play Sam and Edna Grover. Sam fakes his own death in a fire so he and Edna, who has expensive tastes, can collect on his $50,000 life insurance. At least that's the plan, but things don't go quite as planned. The entire movie is on Youtube:

Red Circle is the name used to refer to American publisher Martin Goodman's group of book and pulp magazine publishing corporations. Some of this group of corporations continued into Goodman's comic-book publishing arm, Timely Comics, which would evolve by the 1960s into Marvel Comics. As the market for pulp magazines waned, Goodman, in addition to comic books, transitioned to conventional magazines — published through a concern dubbed Magazine Management Company at least as far back as 1953 — and in 1949 founded Lion Books, a paperback line. Goodman used the name Red Circle Books for the first seven titles plus an additional two later. Most were novels, but there was a smattering of mostly sports-oriented nonfiction. [Source: Wikipeda]
