Author Description

This second collection of short stories by Robert Collins reports on crime and murder in unusual circumstances and surprising places. An estranged and lonely couple plot each other's death. A reporter uncovers the truth behind a wedding night conflagration. A chemist seeks revenge against the medical profession's racism in the death of his wife. Characters who search for justice or revenge can surprisingly find love, or be left with bitter loneliness. As these fictions unroll, children fly in-between them on turtles, fish, even an albatross, trying to make the world safe for truth, justice and the American way. The book is a delightful mix of fiction and fantasy.
