One more Story to go.

I’ve been working my ass off. I’m down to the last story. I’m plotting it out. It’s going to be very Goodnight Ireneish but in short story form. In the meantime, here are some blurbs.

It’s About Impossible Crime (2025)

1. Silent Steps of Murder

In the dead of a Chicago winter, Detective Rowan Manory and his loyal assistant Walter Williams stumble upon a brutal murder—Veronica Hart, slain in her apartment. But when the only footprints in the snow belong to the police, Rowan’s sharp mind begins to unravel a tangled web of infidelity, deception, and desperation. In a city where someone is always watching, justice is a matter of perspective—and Rowan never misses a detail.

2, Where There’s Smoke, There’s Pazuzu

A man is found burned and butchered in a locked room—his body torn apart . No one entered, no one left, and when the fire department broke down the door, the room was empty. The only clue? A whispered warning over the telephone, a name pulled from ancient nightmares: Pazuzu. Rowan Manory doesn’t believe in demons, but as he follows the trail of a curse that should be impossible, even he starts to wonder—what if this time, the devil is real?

3. Instrument of Death

When a renowned psychic warns Violet Reynolds that she will be murdered, she tries to dismiss it—until her friend is found strangled, a cryptic clue left behind. As more bodies fall, the killer moves methodically, relentlessly toward her. Trapped in a failing marriage with nowhere to turn, she feels the noose tightening, but every attempt to escape only draws her closer to death. Is fate guiding the killer’s hand, or is someone pulling the strings? With time running out, Detective Rowan Manory must untangle the mystery before Violet becomes the next victim.

5. Cue Murder

Two men hear a murder from the apartment downstairs—but when they arrive, the door is locked, the body is cooling, and the only two people nearby insist they’re innocent. The suspects seem obvious, yet in a room full of grudges, everyone had a reason to want the victim dead—even the witnesses. Somewhere in the swirl of alibis and accusations, a single conversation will reveal the truth—if anyone is clever enough to catch it.

Locked rooms, phony alibis, missing footprints, dying messages, and curses galore. It’s About Impossible Crime offers a feast of murder and detection. 5 stories. 5 cases. 5 tales of mystery and suspense.
