Tate Long is a lab assistant in the police morgue.

But when he slides open Martine’s drawer, her body is gone.

Loved this bite size collection of fast paced, psychological thrillers - all in the format of very well written short stories. Great find and a great way to get my GoodReads stats up too 😊
A great one to finish with - so, SO dark!
