Is there really such a thing as an innocent person?
Teachers, cops, mothers, wives ─ everyone has a moment of crisis; when things could go either way. From the prostitute with no way out, to the bitter author and the cop who just wants his leave, the characters in this collection all reach a turning point.
Crime Scenes is short crime fiction at its best ─ stories filled with deceptions and misdirections, high-stakes action and characters facing difficult moral choices.
