Persistence Can Be Fatal

Short mystery stories--reading meant for rainy nights.



A failed screenwriter insists his wife listen to his latest script, until she feels compelled to stop him from ever reading a single word to her again; a prison warden has to figure out how a woman on death row escaped his prison from a foolproof cell; a maze becomes more than a party game; a private detective faces his own demons when he helps a woman find her child, a neighbor with binoculars is sure he spotted a killer in the house across the street . . . just some of the stories that come to life in the pages of this collection.
