Booked for Murder

by C. M. Sutter

  Gloria continued. “My murder book will be in everyone’s hands, including yours. It’s the only way you’ll ever know my inner thoughts and the details of what I did. You want answers, you have to buy my book.”

  Her words sickened me because I knew she was right. Gloria Smythe would finally get the attention she craved. The woman was as clever as a fox.

  “I’m out of here, and I hope you have a horrible, boring life while you rot away in a six-by-eight-foot cell.” I headed for the door.

  “Detective McCord.”

  I turned back and forced myself to look at her. Disgust filled my heart and mind.

  “Your copy of Murder by the Book will be the first one I autograph.” Gloria chuckled. “Catchy name, right? In six months, when my true-crime novel is on the New York Times best seller list, you can choke on your words. I’ll never be a nobody again.” She smiled and gave me a wink. “It’ll always eat at you, won’t it?”

  I snickered. “Yeah, what will?”

  “The fact that I won. Have a nice life, Detective McCord. I know I will, and from this day forward, everyone who has ever picked up a book, or plans to, will know my name.”
