She Serpent
Detective Eddie Harper sometimes is too good a cop for his own good. His lieutenant insists that he sniffs out crime where the evidence doesn’t exist. When Harper gets the feeling that a sea-going funeral service is into more than simply scattering ashes for grieving families, he ignores his Lieutenant's order to stop his investigation. Going undercover on his own, he uncovers not only clandestine disposal of kidnap and murder victims, but drug trafficking as well, all under control of a beautiful woman that Harper would prefer to hold in bed instead of in jail. Once again his superiors have to embarrassingly admit that while Harper sometimes flaunts their orders, it always turns out well for the Galveston Police Department.

She Serpent by Jim Woods was another fabulous short story. I must say Jim did it again.
Detective Harper finds an ad in the local newspaper about "At Sea Burial Services" aboard the Sea Spirit. Something just isn't right about him, he can feel it in his gut.
When his superiors tell him he has a enough work through the department, Harper decides to take a moonlighting job to investigate the Sea Spirit on his own time as a Security Guard.
He meets the owner of Sea Spirit, Angela Mastro after setting up a burial service inquiry. Angela explains the procedure for an at sea burial, along with the prices. As Harper looks further into the activities of Sea Spirit, he learns that he may have been wrong.
Though his gut is still nagging at him, he agrees to go to dinner with the beautiful Angela Mastro. In light of the evening, Harper now finds himself liking Angela.
Will Harper's instincts prove him right, or get him into trouble? Find out in She Serpent.
Woods has always written great material with an imagination that puts his own twist into crime and mystery. This short story was no different.
