About

These twist-filled short stories uncover hidden crimes and moral reckonings behind ordinary lives. From colonial legacies to contemporary betrayals, each tale blends mystery, history, and consequence.
Inside you'll discover:
The Gardener's Secret - a skeleton unearthed
The Ivory Vengeance - echoes of empire and retribution
The Shadow on Randolph Street - justice tested by bloodstained evidence
The Sepoy's Revenge and The Pigmy Poison Case - reckonings that blur the line between justice and judgment
Perfect for fans of literary mysteries and historical intrigue, this collection doesn't just entertain-it unsettles, surprises, and lingers long after the last page.

"I was proud of the final version of this collection, as I was the editor of these stories. The author is Charles Patton, who contacted me through Reedsy. If you have feedback with regard to Marketing, it should go to him. I hope you can help Charles gain more readers. I certainly think he deserves an appreciative audience," Marsha Zinberg, professional editor.
