Contains 5 stories
The Carnival Killer
9 pp · crime
Ali Ben Maxon

A fugitive lumberjack named Ali Ben Maxon escapes his dark past by joining the circus, where he discovers an unexpected talent for aerial acrobatics and forms a performing partnership with Katerina, a former aerialist seeking a partner she can trust. But beneath the glittering big top, old tensions and hidden intentions simmer—and when murder strikes under the spotlight, Ali finds himself at the center of a deadly mystery.

Murder and Roses
2 pp · Crime
Tom Feeney

When jewelry store owner Tom Jeddy is found shot dead in his Chicago shop, Detective Tom Feeney dismisses the usual suspects—robbery wasn't the motive, and conventional clues are scarce. But Feeney catches an unusual scent at the scene: barber shop tonic with a rose fragrance, and he stubbornly pursues this fragile lead through the city's barber shops despite his captain's skepticism. His nose becomes his most valuable detective tool as he hunts down the source of that distinctive smell.

The Swami's Last Seance
9 pp · crime
Bruno Gillers

Bruno Gillers lives a crooked double life—smooth-talking spark plug salesman by day, fake Hindu mystic "Swami Khama Zora" by night—until a murder and a police interrogation force him to disappear into his mystical persona entirely. Desperate and on the run, he seeks shelter in the home of one of his séance clients, weaving an elaborate tale to explain his sudden need for refuge. When the police close in, even his supernatural theatrics won't be enough to save him at "The Swami's Last Seance."

Through the Looking Glass

Lawbreakers Never Win
2 pp · Crime

When a man is found stabbed to death in a hallway, the police department's communication system springs into action, dispatching multiple units—homicide detectives, medical examiners, fingerprint experts, and photographers—to the crime scene at 224 Roger Street. "Lawbreakers Never Win" showcases the coordinated machinery of law enforcement as each specialist plays their part in investigating the murder, from collecting evidence to determining that death came swiftly from a blade to the heart.
