And how does an obvious suspect prove she’s innocent?

Sometimes, thieves don’t get their hands dirty when it comes to crime. Sometimes, it’s easy to pass along blame and culpability.

Particularly when the workplace is your backdrop, and the computerized bill payment system is under your control.

In this issue, we deal with those two questions and more in ten new short stories plus an essay about Agatha Christie and the Croydon Poisonings.

My story “Reckless Endangerment” features Winnie Yates, former cellmate of Nora Dockson, heroine of my legal thriller series. Winnie’s worked hard since her release from Oregon’s correctional center for female felons.

Happily married to Jake Denver and mother to nine-year-old Elijah, Winnie runs a freelance bookkeeping service from her home near Spokane.

Unfortunately, a review of the financial records of the owner of the successful Valley Pub and Grill confirms his gut-sense that money is mysteriously disappearing from his accounts.

If her client goes to the cops, she’ll be the first person they investigate for embezzlement. Winnie has another suspect in mind. But will the owner help her identify the real culprit before the cops ruin her?
