Description


"The Magnum Opus and Other Stories" is a collection of four mystery and crime stories. The Magnum Opus: A woman's hand, amputated at the wrist, was found at a construction site in a rural town. Seventeen years earlier, an almost identical crime was committed but it went cold. Is it possible the crime was committed by the same person, almost two decades later, or was it a copycat? The Killer: A young woman spent six years in prison for murder. The killer is known to have a tattoo on their ankle. Did she really commit this crime, or was she framed? The Shareholder: A businessman, who has grown his business successfully, faces an unexpected crisis when a forgotten one-night stand is unearthed, fifty years later. The Password: The owner of an art gallery vanishes overnight. The gallery computers serve as the only evidence to help find her, with traces of browsing the dark web left on the screens. Did her actions online cause her disappearance, or did something else occur within these walls?
