Nikki's Secret

RetailAll Kimberly wanted was a fresh start, one that would allow her to finish college and move on with her life. Unfortunately, fate seems to have a different plan for her. Within days of moving into her new apartment, she starts to get mail for a girl named Nikki, and not just any mail, but items of a sexual nature. Not long after that men start to show up, all of whom seem to think they will be having sex with Nikki. Pictures of her follow, along with threats. Someone is not happy with Nikki and believes Kimberly to be her. Hoping to put a stop to this, Kimberly enlists the aid of the writer living above. Working together, they attempt to uncover who this Nikki person is and end whatever game she is playing. Will their actions succeed and allow Kimberly to get that fresh start she desires? All Bill wanted was to make enough money from his novels to move out of the second floor dump he and his cat have called home for the last several years, one that he actually almost lost prior to his sudden success with self-publishing. Unfortunately, Kimberly, the girl that recently moved in beneath him, throws a wrench into that plan, though through no fault of her own. In fact, his own past is somewhat to blame, which, ultimately, is the reason why he agrees to help and try to put right the situation plaguing the poor college student. The question is, will his actions have any sway over the perceived injustice that Kimberly's stalker had attributed to her, a stalker whose body count total is about to reach serial killer levels? Only time will tell.Review"The little pieces of black humor are perfectly placed amongst the tension and one particularly gory scene is lightened hugely by the skin-crawlingly funny description of the impractical nature of disposing of a body" - Ric's Reviews "NIKKI'S SECRET offered more mystery elements than I was used to in Malmborg's writing, which was refreshing. The whodunit angle and the stream of clues leave you guessing to the end, and you're genuinely not sure who is going to make it out alive." - Midnite MediaAbout the AuthorWilliam Malmborg has been publishing short stories in horror magazines and dark fiction anthologies since 2002. Four of his novels, DARK HARVEST, JIMMY, NIKKI'S SECRET and TEXT MESSAGE, are available, as is a short story collection titled SCRAPING THE BONE that features five previously published and five original tales of horror. When not writing William caters to the whims of Toby and Truman, two cats who reside with him in Wheaton, IL.
