Published by Sabre & Quill, the book traverses the shadowed territories of love, lust, jealousy, and murder, offering readers gripping tales that blend psychological suspense with the complexities of human emotion. Each story examines how passion and obsession can tilt ordinary lives toward unexpected and sometimes deadly outcomes.
Author Ruby Gupta, known for her bestselling crime thrillers like: A Degree in Death, No Illusions in Xanadu, and The Secret of Leifeng Pagoda, brings her signature style of intricate plotting and deep character psychology to the short story format.

Each story is a standalone journey into the minds of my characters, and I hope readers will find themselves captivated by the twisted paths they take.”
