A Case of Mistaken Identity: A Short Story

by Phyllis Anne Duncan (P. A. Duncan)

Two years after the darkest mission of her career, Mai Fisher is intent on an evening out with some acquaintances. A decent meal, a good play, interesting company are what she needs to push away that mission's memory and more recent events in the Balkans.

Someone has other plans, however.

In the midst of her meal, an old enemy reappears, and Mai does the only thing she can: She pursues him.

Includes a sneak preview of Book Three of A PERFECT HATRED: DESCENDING SPIRAL.

About the author

P. A. Duncan is a retired bureaucrat but one with an overactive imagination--at least that's what everyone has told her since she first started making up stories in elementary school, prompted by her weekly list of spelling words.

A commercial pilot and former FAA safety official, she lives and writes in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. A graduate of Madison College (now James Madison University), she has degrees in history and political science. Politics and history manage to work their way into her writing.

Her fiction has appeared in numerous literary journals and anthologies. When not reading, writing, editing, singing in a UU choir, watching the Yankees, or cheering on Dale Earnhardt, Jr., she delights in spoiling her grandchildren.

She is president emeritus of the Virginia Writers Club, one of the oldest writer organizations in the country.
