"There were few in society who didn't despise Frances Borne."

My name is Luke Goodson. I am currently in the middle of a mobster gang fight, surrounded by showgirls and cigarette smoke, trying to crawl out from under one of the stinking and broken down snooker tables. The men and women in dark, velvety green suits and dresses belong to the Borne gang, and those who donned blue swallowtails and beaded dresses belong to the Value gang.All this, the shooting guns, the massive assassinations, the poison in cocktails and whiskey, for a family fortune, that may or may not be non-existent, a family fortune which belongs to neither of them.

A husband who was killed in a car crash he wasn't even in, only to be found alive and breathing in the flesh two years later.
A sister that nobody knew about.
Two gangs that acknowledge absolutely nothing about each other except for three things: That they both adore gambling, high fashion , and the Ross fortune.
A detective who was the right hand man to his enemy.

And me, Luke Goodson, the one near unsophisticated country boy who spontaneously showed up to a gangster gambling party, because my upstairs neighbour decided to take me along at the drop of my girlfriends' name. I, Luke B. Goodson, bring you...... Frances. The woman who started it all.Todos los derechos reservados

I See You de January616

Hey there folks, I'm Cody Phillips, welcome to New Orleans. N'awlins is known for many wonderful things, our coffee, music and the ability to throw a damn fine party. We're also known as the city most people believe may be one of the most haunted places in the world. Well, let me tell you this, we have more than our fair share. I know because I can see them. But, listen, don't spread that around. Yeah? It's been a closely guarded family secret my whole life. Not even my best friend knows this about me. See, I use my 'gift' in my work as a homicide detective with NOLA's finest boys in blue. Now, I understand why you might call it cheating, and that's fine. But I always catch the bad guy with the victim telling me everything I need to know and give the family involved closer. So it evens out as far as I can tell. Now just as my life is moving slower than a gator with a full belly, the worst happens. I get the call about a homicide that's hit too close to home. It leaves the girl of my dreams coming home to face tragedy. The moment I see her I find myself reminded of the one secret no one ever knew. Ever since I was eight years old I have felt many different things for Emma O'Neal, and those feelings haven't disappeared with time. Problem is now that she's come home; I find myself fighting not only an unknown assailant out for blood, my partner's misguided beliefs but my own need for the enticing beauty I'm duty sworn to protect. Damn, I just hope I'm able to fight the feelings I have for this woman, and stay focused on the case. Otherwise, I might end up losing something far more precious to me than the honor I've worked so hard for: Emma's life.

Scream: A Newtmas Murder Mystery de DarkPhoenix-223

[EDIT] THE STORY IS UNDERGOING SOME REVISIONS SO THAT IT WON'T BE CRINGEY. I wrote this three years ago, so cut me some slack people. [EDIT 2] THE STORY HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REVISED. I edited a lot. Entire chapters are changed, the dilemma, the songs, the interactions, and even the deaths have all been made, in my mind, better. I really wanted to make this a thriller, but I also wanted mature elements in here, and I definitely didn't want you guys to read anything cringey. So, this is the final director's cut of my novel. I sincerely hope you enjoy and appreciate my revisions. Thanks so much. [EDIT 3] Okay I'm still not satisfied I need to keep updating the parts so sorry everyone lmao The inhabitants of Mazeboro, CA have never seen too much trouble, especially not a string of murders that begin to happen all over town. Newton and his friends are shocked and horrified as two of their friends are among the first to be murdered. And in the midst of this disorder, newcomer Thomas Greene brings a breath of fresh air to the students at Mazeboro High. He plays lacrosse, has a kind disposition, and is quite attractive. He catches Newt's attention, and the two form a strong friendship, despite the murders hitting closer and closer to home. Newt and Thomas, along with their friends, must band together and act as one. But, as less and less people remain, fingers are pointed and distrust ensues. Paranoia settles in. Newt must determine who is guilty and who is not, before every single person is dead. A classic Murder Mystery tale, with romance, drama, and plot twists.

Immortal (COMPLETED) de JORDANCIAGA

His hands rush to pick up thin dollar bills leaving small paper cuts on his fingers and I can feel the anxiety seeping off of his body. Sweat collecting into a small bead on his neck as he says something like, "You don't know who my boss is, bitch." I press the metal deeper into his scalp, saying I don't give a fuck about who his boss is and if any money is missing I'll take it in the form of bodies. I pull a long strand of brown hair out of my mouth as he tosses a bag into my hand. With a slight smile through my ski mask, I shoot two tiles out in the ceiling before darting out the store and into a back alley. The cashier's nametag ringing in my head as I ran. Cedric. * Wren Parker. A young woman with a troubled past attends her sister's wedding after years of separation.

Chicago Typewriter de guywortheyauthor

As Detective Drew Lucy typed up the report on the Waterton case the pretty ankle slipped into his line of sight. It was shaped like trouble. The chief's sixteen-year-old daughter Millie was worried about her brother, Ike, who had started to disappear some nights. The chief could fire Drew for messing with family business, but Drew reluctantly agrees to tail Ike. The trail leads to a speakeasy and the mushrooming business of organized crime during Prohibition in Chicago. Clues from the Ebony Gardens murder point to the same gang, but the gangsters can smell Drew coming, and bullets are cheap. By the time Drew enters the seductive orbit of a mink-eyed vixen addicted to risk, he's in over his head. If he isn't shot full of daylight by gangster tommy guns, he'll drown in Bianca's perfumed embrace. It's enough to make a gumshoe readjust his fedora. ----- This noir flavored detective yarn is set 100 years back in time. It's a bit grittier than my usual breezy output. This story is basically clean and I did not flag it as mature. However, darker human failings (alcohol use, sexual desire, and violence) drive the plot. I don't dwell on those aspects, but it's definitely a story for grownups. The intended audience is new adult or adult. Winner! 2022 Amby Awards, Mystery and Thriller category. Winner! 3rd place in the Ballsy Tea Awards 2022, Action and Adventure category.

Fateful de ExoticTwist

Pulling my phone out, I checked the Caller ID. It was a number not saved in my phone but it was also a Minnesota number, someone from back home. Cautiously, I answered the phone. "Hello?" The phone was silent on the other end as I heard shuffling in the background but no answer. "Hello?" My voice more stern and annoyed. Why fucking call someone if you're not going to speak? "Nixon Pierce?" I hate when people use my first fucking name, it's so cringy. "This is Detective Tia Fletcher, with Rochester P.D. Do you remember me? I was the detective on your case." She questioned me but I had already remembered her from the name. "I was the detective who visited the hospital around the time your twins were born..." Detective Fletcher trailed off. I rolled my eyes, annoyed that this lady pops up at all the wrong times. "Yeah, I remember who you are." My voice was monotone. "Why are you calling me? I'm on my honeymoon." "I'm sorry to interrupt." The detective apologized. "I just wanted to let you know that we caught him." She clued me in, almost excited. [Part of the Bashful Trilogy: Bashful & Wistful] [Mature 18+]
