Some of the writers you'll encounter in these pages have published dozens of stories; some are making their debut. What they all have in common is courage. In this brave new digital world, it takes courage to write at all, let alone to write with the kind of skill and imagination you're about to see. These are stories about the desperate, the deceived and the deceivers, killers and crooks and cops. They are stories that demand, and reward, your attention and your empathy, qualities that are becoming all too rare. They're stories that ask tough questions instead of providing pat answers. As a bonus, they're entertaining as hell. - from the Foreword by Joseph S. Walker (JSWalkerAuthor.com)
Welcome to the third anthology by the chapter members of Sisters In Crime North Dallas. The cities of Dallas, Fort Worth, and surrounding locales offer great fodder for mystery writers-and readers. These have inspired the stories contained in Trouble in Texas: Metroplex Mysteries Volume IV.
