Animus: Nine Stories

By Paul Phillips

A spy who might be an illusionist. A rogue psychologist. A phone-hacking private investigator with the law on his tail. An executioner and an assassin. A fallen astronaut. A gangster's wife falling further into crime. A soldier forever captured in one moment in history. Three young lovers caught up in the aftermath of the Prague Spring...

ANIMUS is a collection of nine short stories spanning genres, periods and countries - linked only by the recurring appearance of an object that would normally be referred to as inanimate.

Or is there some other presence at play?
