    Another nail-biter from best-selling author Willow Rose! It was supposed to be the happiest day of her life when her kidnapped daughter returned, but it wasn’t. Fourteen years ago, Clarissa Smalls was born, and a few hours later, she was taken from the hospital. Kidnapped. Her mother searched desperately for her for years, but she never found her. Until now. When Clarissa Smalls is suddenly found in the swamps of Central Florida, badly bruised and confused, it is cause for much joy and celebration in her family, especially with her mother, who has waited 14 years to see her baby girl again. Little did she know that this day would end up being the worst in her life. Because Clarissa doesn’t want to know about her mother, she refuses to talk to anyone, and won’t tell the police what happened to her. When another baby girl is kidnapped from the same hospital in the same manner, the police believe it’s the same kidnapper who took Clarissa. Suddenly, time is of the essence to make her answer the many questions that are piling up. Where was she for 14 years? Who took her? Why won’t she tell them who her kidnapper is? The FBI brings in former profiler Eva Rae Thomas to help them in this very peculiar case. Eva Rae Thomas knows the girl’s mother very well and is willing to go to great lengths to help her out, even though the two of them share an unpleasant history. Eva Rae Thomas’ sister recently came back into her life after being kidnapped 35 years ago, so the FBI hopes she can contribute with a deeper understanding of the situation and maybe get through to Clarissa. Little could she have known that soon she would wish that she never got involved in this, as the case becomes very personal for her.

'It's the epitome of that great saying, "Just one more chapter!" Then you discover you've read another five. Highly recommend as a great psychological thriller.' Joy Ellis 
I want to be ordinary. To fade into the shadows where no one notices me and live a quiet life. A normal life. 
But I am not ordinary. Not anymore. 
I’ve been keeping a secret. From my colleagues, my friends and most importantly, my husband - who knows nothing of my past life. 
Twenty years ago, at college, a boy became obsessed with me. Craig Lane believed he could make me love him back if he just tried harder. When I rejected him, he did something so horrifying, it’s the stuff of nightmares. All my nightmares. 
Now I’ve been informed by Victim Support Services, that boy - now a man - has been released from prison. The news terrifies me. 
Am I safe? Or does Craig still carry the same obsession he did when we were seventeen? I don’t know. I’ve ignored every letter he’s ever sent me. 
Now strange things have started to happen: flowers have been left on my doorstep, my cat keeps going missing. Someone is watching me. Knows where I live. I am sure. 
Worse, something even more sinister could be stalking me from the shadows. Because I have another secret... 
My past is coming to get me. One way or another.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
 
In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
 
The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
 
Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
 
In this volume our authors lead us through that most popular of genres – The Murder Mystery.  Tracking down the killer and the motive is examined by such masters as Robert Louis Stevenson, H G Wells, Susan Glaspell, Ryūnosuke Akutagawa and many others with twists of fate, deductions of ingenuity, and literary brilliance.
