About this ebook
The world may be full of criminals, but in Chelsea Graydon’s stories they always get caught, often by their intended victims! Follow a bank teller whose first day on the job involves witnessing a bank robbery and figuring out who did it in “Smile for the Camera.” Get inside the oily mind of a confidence man who may have picked the wrong woman to scam in “Confidence.” Have just a little pity for a misguided firebug in “Playing Hero.” Figure out with a stalked woman how to catch her stalker in “Dragged Upstairs.” Finally, discover why timing really is everything in the frightening “Better Late.” Five satisfying, quick tales of crime and justice from a rising voice in gentle mysteries.

Author Foreword
A crime can happen quickly, on a sudden impulse, or be dragged out over years of planning or slow malicious acts. But the quick
in this collection doesn’t really refer to the speed of the crime so much as our consumption of it. That is, our dread of it, our witness, and our cheering at the tables turned and the criminal caught.
Call it quick hits of primal justice therapy. Where else can you solve the problems of society in such an efficient satisfying way? These tales are meant to be consumed in a single gulp, relished like good fast food. And if they also open your eyes to the possibilities of nefarious motives and opportunities around you, well, that’s all to the better. One can never be too vigilant.
Fiat justitia!*
