The Wounded Murderer

by Stephen Randorf

Detective Bass is too kindhearted at times. An elderly veteran had been murdered and the case was being wrapped up, when the detective agreed to do a favor for a friend. Everything unraveled after that. They had the weapon, a 9mm revolver first issued during the Korean War, and he had the suspect’s confession. But it wasn’t enough.

The local newspaper printed a story of the woman’s confession and the revenge of her father’s death. But was it more of the cover-up? What were the lies? What was the truth?

This novelette is the latest in the Detective Bass Mystery series.
