Murder By Moonlight - A Collection Of Short Stories

Diana Rubino

Sinossi

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?
