Mystery, suspense, and thrills await you in this short story collection. Each tale is a homicide case tackled by NYPD homicide detectives Chen and Castilblanco in their battle against crime. A hanging in a renowned college for criminal justice, a serial killer that uses unusual hardware, a stakeout that ends in violence—these stories and others let you walk Gotham’s mean streets with these tough cops. The mysterious and beautiful Dao-Ming Chen and the acerbic and sarcastic Rolando “Rollie” Castilblanco represent two of the author's most interesting characters. Get acquainted with them in this collection and then follow them in the "Detectives Chen and Castilblanco Series."
Hi there. First a reader, but also an author, yet I'll be brief: I'm a native Californian, former Colombian resident, and now living in the Northeast. For more bio info, please see my author profile and/or website. Books are my life right now. While I am a full-time writer, I read a lot, and not just in the genres I write in. Those are mystery, thriller, and sci-fi, by the way...and you'll find them in short stories, novellas, and novels. My latest novels are Rembrandt's Angel (Penmore Press), Goin' the Extra Mile (Carrick Publishing), and The Last Humans (Black Opal Books)--yeah, I'm now a mongrel, although I was never 100% DIY before either. While I don't give away free novels (they're sometimes on sale at Smashwords for my email newsletter subscribers), I give away my short fiction. So does my collaborator A. B. Carolan. See my blog categories "Steve's Shorts," "ABC Shorts," and my list of PDFs free for the asking on my webpage "Free Stuff & Contests" at my website. I'm a member of International Thriller Writers. Around the world and to the stars! In libris libertas!
