Plots with a punch.

Writing with a roundhouse kick.
Stories with a Scowl.
Explore the sinister side of life in this collection of psychological suspense tales for older readers-four short novels and a short story.
Join characters both heroic and horrible as they face all sorts of deadly doings-unsolved knifings, dangerous gangs, dire domestic secrets, government conspiracies, and more-with thought-provoking drama to go with it.
Handle with care. These stories have a mind of their own, and they like to roam the most desolate forests and darkest corners of the world. Read this book and you'll be biting your nails in suspense-if the book doesn't bite you first...
If you like the intelligent thrillers of Graham Greene, Ruth Rendell, Barbara Vine, and Patricia Highsmith, check out Stories with a Scowl!
