Live Free or Tri Judy Penz Sheluk

A collection of three short mystery stories by Judy Penz Sheluk, author of the critically acclaimed debut mystery novel, THE HANGED MAN'S NOOSE: A GLASS DOLPHIN MYSTERY (Barking Rain Press, July 2015). Death and DeceptionAppearances are often deceiving and that is the underlying premise in this collection of short crime fiction: In "Live Free or Die," naive 21-year-old Emmy falls hard for 31-year-old Jack, an efficiency expert from New Hampshire who is not all that he seems. In "Murder in the Marsh," cyclist Carrie Anne Camack discovers more than she bargained for in the fertile farmlands of Ontario's Holland Marsh. In the final story, "The Cycopaths," a triathlon team's open-water swim training in Collingwood, Ontario, has deadly consequences. Judy's short crime fiction has appeared in THE WHOLE SHE-BANG 2 (Toronto Sisters in Crime, Nov. 2014), WORLD ENOUGH AND CRIME (Carrick Publishing, Oct. 2014), and FLASH AND BANG: the first anthology by members of the Short Mystery Fiction Society (Untreed Reads, Nov. 2015). Her literary fiction has been published in THEMA, a New Orleans-based literary journal, on three occasions. LIVE FREE OR TRI is Judy's first independently published collection.
