CHAPTER 12

by webnovelverse — BAKNik, PRIEST OF AMMON Memphis was growing more rapidly than ever. Almost half a million inhabitants at the last census, and already the optimists predicting a million by the next. Menni noticed the changes as he passed along rapidly on foot. As usual, when making an excursion through the city, unofficial and more or less secret, he had put on a heavy wig of curled hair and a frankly false beard which swung pendulous under his chin. He carried no insignia of rank, was unaccompanied, might merely…

The-Crawling-Death-Chapter-04

by webnovelverse — THE summer passed uneventfully, with no word from our tenants, ex- cept for the monthly remittance. And then, one morning late in October, as Jim and I were preparing to make a visit of inspection to several properties, I was called to the telephone, and in answer to my response a voice, which, in spite of its tremor and excitement, I recognized as Avery's, asked me to come immedi- ately to Hedgewood. It was not until we were in the car that I told Jim, who was driving, to head for Ormond's place, and…

The-Crawling-Death-Chapter-03

by webnovelverse — JIM sprang to his feet, and with a cry of rage threw the whole weight of his body against the heavy door. He was frantic with fury. I leaped upon him and by sheer strength carried him, kicking and cursing, the length of the hall where I threw him into a settee. "There, you confounded chump!" I shouted. "For two cents I'd punch your face in. What do you mean by disobey- ing orders?" We glared at each other for a moment, and then a sheepish look crept into his face. "I'm sorry, old man," he…

The-Crawling-Death-Chapter-02

by webnovelverse — THE exhilarating rush through the clean, sparkling air soon banished the senseless feeling of uneasiness I had been harboring, and I gave myself up to the enjoyment of the ride. Life may hold better things than a perfect going automobile, a good country road and a bright June day, but I don't know where they are or what. Hedgewood was situated about ten miles from town, but we reached our destination all too soon. As we approached the property we slowed down in order to get a better view. The land had a…

The-Crawling-Death-Chapter-01

by webnovelverse — THE JUNE breeze blowing softly through the open window dis- turbed the papers on my desk, and also my peace of mind. My office was hot and stuffy, and the cooling zephyr whispered of better things out of doors. With a sigh, I pushed back my chair and ruefully contemplated the un- answered correspondence on my desk. Across the way my gaze encountered the terra cotta facade and glaring plate glass of a hideous office building. Be- yond it, although invisible to the physical eye, were lush meadows and…

My-left-hand-holds-love-Chapter-01

by webnovelverse — In the dimly lit lovers’ motel, a man and woman were chatting before bed. I stood quietly at the door, letting them enjoy their final moments of pleasure. No matter what, you should always have a good meal before you lose your head—this is the killer’s version of humanity. “When are you finally going to divorce your wife? Didn’t you say she’s already losing her mind? How much longer do I have to wait?” After the sounds from the bed died down, the woman spoke first. “Just wait a bit…

Blood Diamonds Tallinn Epilogue

by webnovelverse — A second passed. Then another. The gun didn’t fire. Instead, Margus lowered it slightly, exhaling through his nose. “You’re lucky,” he said, voice tight. “Alex wants his daughter alive. That’s the only reason you’re still breathing.” Miko opened his eyes, tears blurring his vision. “Then help her,” he begged. “ I’ll tell you everything I know. Every detail. Just… please don’t kill me.” Margus stared at him for a long moment, then holstered the gun with a sharp…

Blood Diamonds Tallinn Chapter 9

by webnovelverse — Diamonds in the Dark Margus’s voice came through the phone again, calm but edged with steel. “Don’t hurt the girl,” he said. “Let her go. That was the deal.” The abductor laughed, low and bitter. “The deal changed,” he snapped. “I want the rest of the diamonds. Or a huge amount of money. You think I tracked her through the woods, held her for hours, for nothing?” Emma lay tied to the chair, her cheek pressed against the cold concrete floor where she’d fallen when he hit her.…
