...an eclectic anthology of 28 short mysteries to chill the warmest heart.

Hailed as "a master story teller" by iBerkshires, award-winning author, Gerald Elias, has gathered all of his short mystery fiction in a single, impossible-to-put-down, volume. Some of the stories have been previously published in other anthologies. Others appear here for the very first time. There are so many kinds of mystery short stories: creepy, clever, humorous, macabre, spooky, wicked, and puzzling. Are all of them traditional whodunits? Feh! Of course not. They can be head-scratchers: "Hmm, what weird thing just happened?" Or, someone's dark, troubled past bubbling up to the surface at the most inopportune time. Mystery short stories can be lightning strike short or as long as an owl's shadow in a full moon. They can take place in the remote Utah desert, the charming Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts, or a trendy coffee shop in midtown Manhattan. Anywhere. Just a word of warning. As you're reading this volume, you might not want to look over your shoulder.
