Mystery and Malice: Short Stories

By John Corral

A collection of remarkable stories, Mystery and Malice showcases many of the author's award-winning entries in the suspense genre. Here are six brand-new, never-before-published, stories packed with murder, mystery, and mayhem.

About the collection: In the story Dealing with the Devil a successful lawyer takes on the ultimate opponent. Will he succeed when Faust did not? This is a fantasy... or is it? Four in the Morning is a cautionary tale about what may happen when a man is short on sleep, stressed and angry. His choices then may not be the best. An Appeal to Murder deals with another lawyer, but one who is far from successful. That is, until he meets Victoria. Why then his murderous intent toward her? In Winter Kills a man takes revenge, finally and effectively. Return to Fortune Road is about a lawyer who has the worse day of his life, and that's just at the beginning of a day which spirals downward from there. The Apprentice is a story that was inspired by a newspaper article on the death of a stock broker. That seed brought forth this look behind the stately facade of Wall Street.
