    About this ebook

    These stories appear in the short story collection, What Leads A Man To Murder

    Two stories from prize-winning author, Joslyn Chase

    Rachmaninoff's Peasant

    In the high-stakes world of Kristelhof Fine Arts Academy, pianist Georgia Findlay plays to win.

    The high-tension level of talent, drive, and competition on campus keeps students scrambling for position, but Georgia never misses a quarter of a beat.

    Not even the death of her best mentor slows her down.

    The story of a cutthroat rivalry and one girl's break from the life of a peasant in a bid for the golden crown.

    What Leads A Man To Murder

    One woman, dead by midnight, snuffed out in a gush of blood and water, like the day she came in. Naked in body and soul.

    One man, wondering what makes a killer. What twisted workings of fate and character lead one person to steal the life of another?

    Neil Anderson starts his day with two things on his lips—

    a cup of strong coffee and this question: What leads a man to murder?

    Before day's end, he'll learn more about it than he ever wanted to know.
