Murder By Moonlight - A Collection Of Short Stories

Diana Rubino

Sinopsis

Carmella always knew she would find the love of her life in an exotic foreign country. But there's a deadly catch to it, in "Souvenir". Watching archaeologists unearth a mummified Iron Age corpse from a Danish bog gives a college professor an idea...how to commit the perfect murder, in "Bog Bodies."
 
In "I Have Other Plans" a young executive plans to eliminate his senior partner who refuses to issue him additional stock-but someone beats him to it. In "His Own Boss" Lieutenant Frank Russo of the Jersey City Police Department has an uncanny knack of solving homicide cases during the darkest days of Prohibition, when murder on the streets runs rampant. When he exposes the shady operations of the city's most notorious mob family, he ruffles some serious feathers.
 
But is he afraid of ending up at the bottom of the East River in cement swim fins? Nope. So what's his secret?

Fading Voices - From their pens...

Boleslaw Prus

Aleksander Głowacki who wrote under the nom de plume Boleslaw Prus was born on 20th August 1847 at Hrubieszów in the Kingdom of Poland, at that time, controlled by the Russian Empire.
At three his mother died and then at nine his father. Female relatives helped raise him but at 15 he joined the Polish uprising against the might of Imperial Russia. Wounded on the battlefield, arrested and imprisoned, he was later released into the care of a relative and resumed secondary school and then Warsaw University but poverty forced him to leave after two years. At some point he developed agoraphobia which often caused problems.
In 1869, he enrolled in the Forestry Department at Puławy but was soon sacked and so he began a system of self-education that led to work as a newspaper columnist on a wide-ranging series of topics that eventually became the ‘Weekly Chronicles’ and spanned 40 years.
With his finances now stabilized he married and then adopted his late brother-in-law’s son.
It seems he had doubts as to the scale of his talents and early on adopted the name ‘Boleslaw Prus’ for both his journalistic and literary offerings.
His work as a short-story writer met with much acclaim. He wrote several dozen of them, originally published in newspapers and ranging in length from micro-story to novella. His keen observation of everyday life and sense of humor are evident in them.
During his career he also wrote novels. After ‘Pharoah’, in 1895, he embarked on a four-month journey taking in Berlin, Dresden, Nuremberg, Rapperswil in Switzerland, where he stayed for two months, and his final destination, Paris. Here his agoraphobia was so bad he couldn’t cross the Seine.
However, his writing continued and in 1911 his novel ‘Changes’, though uncompleted, began to be serialised. It was never finished.
Boleslaw Prus died on 19th May 1912, at his Warsaw apartment. He was 64. A National Hero, thousands attended both his funeral service and interment.
