A student is found hanging in the bell tower. An old man indulges his passion for tripping people. A young woman finds more than brisket in her uncle’s chest freezer. A sensory deprivation tank deprives one individual of more than her senses.

Jillian Grant Shoichet’s short mystery fiction reveals intimate details, half-acknowledged fears, and hidden desires. There may be a body, there may be a secret. There is always a sense of discovery.
