Case of the Absent Corpse
9 pp · detective-mystery
Ken Shannon

Detective Ken Shannon takes on a seemingly straightforward blackmail case when Gloria Akely seeks his help—her past love letters are being used to extort her, threatening to expose a scandal that could destroy her husband's government career. But when the blackmailer, the unsavory Lester Pizer, turns up shot dead right before Shannon's eyes, the detective finds himself in a bewildering bind: the body vanishes, his skeptical homicide contact won't believe him, and a mysterious new player emerges with the corpse and demands of their own. As Shannon digs deeper into this tangled web, he discovers that without a body, the law may not protect him—or his client—the way he'd hoped.
