Medusa's End

Four years ago, a bullet in the thigh destroyed Alexander Hinkel's chances of becoming a police captain. But that didn't do anything to his ability to see through a suspect's lies. On the contrary, his instincts and observations are sharper than ever. That's why his ex-colleagues still come knocking on Hinkel's door when they get stuck with investigations. In the city of Agrippa, where crime is rife, there are currently more unsolved murders than the police can handle, and Hinkel earns good money from freelance detective work. He has only one condition: He works alone.

There have already been two attempts on CEO Cornelia Stottel's life. She hires Hinkel to find out who is behind these accidents, but when he starts asking around, he finds out that it's not so much a question of who wants to murder Cornelia Stottel, but rather, who doesn't want to. There's a battlefield of enemies in her wake embittered staff, humiliated competitors, and the passionate hatred of every person she's ever crossed swords with. However, before Hinkel can get to the bottom of things, there's a third attempt and, this time, it's successful.

MEDUSA'S END is the seventh in a series of whodunit novelettes by well-known author Anna Emm*! It is the ideal reading matter for anyone with little time, because these novelettes can each be read in an hour or two.
