Cat and Mouse

The Hinkel Cases #9

by Anna Emm

Four years ago, a bullet in the thigh destroyed Alexander Hinkel’s chances of becoming a police captain. But that didn’t do anything to his ability to see through a suspect’s lies. On the contrary, his instincts and observations are sharper than ever. That’s why his ex-colleagues still come knocking on Hinkel’s door when they get stuck with investigations. In the city of Agrippa, where crime is rife, there are currently more unsolved murders than the police can handle, and Hinkel earns good money from freelance detective work. He has only one condition: He works alone.

The infamous drug lord Bennie Price has escaped out of jail and now he’s on Janke Lofstat’s trail. Hinkel is restless, and with good reason: After all, Janke is the one who testified against Price when he got caught. When she disappears without a trace, a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse ensues: Three murders are committed … and Hinkel has to solve all three if he wants to see Janke alive again. But it’s not only his brain that gets challenged, it’s also his true feelings for the woman he has gotten so used to over the last few months...

CAT AND MOUSE is the ninth in a series of whodunit novelettes by well-known author Anna Emm*! It is the ideal reading matter for anyone with little time, because these novelettes can each be read in an hour or two.

* Look out for the other novelettes in the HINK series!
