Sleeping Dogs

Four years ago, a bullet in the thigh destroyed Alexander Hinkel's chances to become 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.

When wealthy film star Ainly Boyle hosts an exclusive murder mystery party to promote her new movie, she asks Hinkel to be the guest of honour for a sizeable fee, of course. But Hinkel doesn't have a good feeling about the whole thing, and it's not only because the attractive Janke Lofstat will also be among the guests. Murder, in his experience, is not something you play with. And it appears his feeling was spot on, because the evening has scarcely begun when a real body turns up and then another one.

SLEEPING DOGS is the second 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.

* Look out for the other novelettes in the HINK series!
