Twenty-two stories from the author of the Anna Peters mystery series.

The stories range from historical settings, "The Blind Woman", to the underside of plushy suburbia, "The Summer of the Strangler", and from Hollywood, "Perfection", to gritty urban wastelands, "My Life in Crime."

Blood in the Water and Other Secrets features a wide variety of characters, obsessive, foolish, larcenous,and homicidal, with lively, distinctive voices.
