This captivating collection of stories contains four thrilling crime mysteries, each more perplexing than the last. A life hangs in the balance on the edge of a cliff in Gillian Philip's "Rockface;" a text message sent in error leads to a gruesome death in Alan Durant's "SMS Murder;" a seemingly simple case leads to unforeseen complications in Anne Rooney's "An Open and Shut Case;" and an innocent person is accused of a crime with terrifying consequences in David Belbin's "In a Hot Place."
