Take a short cut. Where will it lead? To the Jersey Shore, where perhaps you'll find a nosy Italian landlady or ghosts at Cape May Point? To a small college town in Pennsylvania, where identical twins teach psychology and solve crimes? To Philadelphia's Academy of Music or a small chocolate shop in Center City? To the modern day Wild West or Valley Forge during the War for Independence? The 16 short stories in Short Cuts to Mayhem will lead you to places of mystery and malice, haunting and humor.
