Steve’s informant reported that Reginald Osborne was well known in S&M circles. He was a regular visitor to the clubs and he often required special services that were illegal and were only offered in secrecy. Since Osborne paid big amounts of money for these services, he usually got what he wanted and usually found women willing to participate in his perverted games. "It is said that he likes to play a mock murder game with the women," Steve said with a stern look. "Much like Janet Walker e

Something's going on apparently. Thanks again for reading and leaving your thoughts.

Thanks for reading and commenting, Stephen. I'm happy you're enjoying the story. I read about the antique mafia in a magazine. The article inspired me to use the term.

Thanks again for reading, joann. Two more chapters. I'm going to post them soon.

Writing Tip: The Indefinite Article
Dolores Esteban commented on Renee Stevens's blog entry in Writing World
Very helpful. Thank you! -
"Oh my god, what happened?" Steve asked in bewilderment. "You look as if you’ve seen a ghost." "So to speak," Adam replied. He told Steve of his conversation with Timothy Baker. "I’ve meanwhile read on that Aztec ritual. The heart was cut out, arms and legs were cut off, the corpse was skinned, parts of the bodies were burned, parts were fed to animals, and...," Steve said, swallowing. "Parts were eaten," he finished his sentence. "Ritual cannibalism," Adam confirmed. Steve closed his eyes f

Gregory Parker (Fair Enough) What the hell was I supposed to do? Murder was not an option. Or rather, it would have been my last resort. Gregory Parker was fifty-two years of age. He was well-off and he was a man who showed he was wealthy. His clothes were elegant, he had a large mansion, he owned several companies, and his five cars were expensive. The marriage with Gloria had added to his wealth. He had married the woman two years ago. Gloria Parker was twenty-six years of age.

Gloria Parker (Playing on his Fears) From Gloria Parker’s diary: 8th August, 1996 My mood has changed for the better. I finally took steps to regain control. The previous weeks were awful. I noticed that things were subtly changing, yet I did not know why and I did not know what to do. Whatever I thought of, I knew it would not work out. I was not able to make up a perfect plan. This was greatly disturbing me. I felt increasingly restless and depressed. My sleep was fitful and I

Thanks again, joann. Glad you're enjoying the story.

"A sadomasochistic club whose activities got out of hand? And Reginald Osborne is a specialist in Aztec culture?" Steve asked after Adam had informed him on his conversation with his father. He nodded thoughtfully. "Yes," Adam replied. "He was a serious scientist when he was younger. He discovered a few remarkable objects. The discoveries made him famous and he established quite a reputation. But he changed considerably over the years. He became extravagant, flamboyant, and arrogant. Rumors sp

David Johnson stood by the window and looked outside. He watched Adam’s car coming up the drive. Adam’s father hurried to open the door. They exchanged a look. David made a gesture with his hand and Adam entered. His father closed the door quickly. They sat down in the living room. David poured them coffee. "What do you think?" Adam asked. "Can it be sheer coincidence?" his father asked back. "No, definitely not. I’m just wondering why they put Jeremiah Irons on the list. He was a man with con

Frederick (Designed for Greatness?) What intrigued me most about him was his ability to put his dreams on paper. He found accurate words and he had the courage to write them down, even publish his stories and poems in a time when the dreams he dreamed were supposed to be dreamed in private. I thought he was courageous, but perhaps he was just naive and was entirely unaware of the risk he took with presenting his dreams to the public, strangers who had no idea of who he was and what his d

I Can’t Even Remember I am now back in Winchester After what I shall call an “interesting” weekend Singing, playing bass and tattooing is my life I won't fall like the rest of them They've come and gone with the wind At this point your mental blackout begins and The screen fades to black until the next day I want a night to remember Today is a day I would rather forget I keep trying to turn the corner But I just can't seem to do it My lazy, awkward boyfriend Suddenly remembers it

Thanks for reading and reviewing, Bill. Yes, there are two stories titled Cold Case and it was confusing people a bit. Alex and I have meanwhile adjusted our posting schedules. I'll be updating my story on Tuesdays. Alex will be posting on Thursdays. So hopefully this will make things a littles easier for those who read both of the stories. Thanks again.

Thanks, joann. Glad you like the story.

Adam and Steve visited the Spanish Steps and then went to Jeremiah Iron’s shop. The shop was locked and sealed by the police. They looked into the shop window. A few wooden art objects were displayed. They looked cheap and not appealing and they were covered with dust. "Like Sassetti said, Irons didn’t intend to make a living with his shop. I can’t imagine he ever sold anything of that stuff," Steve said. "I can’t imagine anybody wants to buy that stuff. Cheap, rotten, dreadful, covered with du

Commissario Sassetti was a lean man with greasy black hair and a piercing look. Adam and Steve sat down in front of Sassetti’s messy desk. Commissario Sassetti measured them from behind it. "I’ve already informed you of the reason of our visit. I think our case of burglary and your case of murder are connected," Steve said without any introductory words. Commissario Sassetti looked at Steve, and then pulled a cigarette from a packet. He pushed the cigarette between his lips and lit it. Sassett

Cold Case by Dolores Esteban "A case of burglary," Steve Mills said. He placed a folder on Adam’s desk. Adam Johnson looked up with surprise. It was his first day in the office. Adam had just joined the cold case team. "A case of burglary?" he asked back in confusion. Steve gave a nod. He opened the folder and took a bunch of photos out of it. "Two years ago, someone broke into Derek Peterson’s house. The house was empty. Peterson is a wealthy banker. He was on a vacation, in some e

Damian Greene (A Life’s Tragedy) Dear Charlotte, I thank you for your kind letter. I received the sad news today. I remember Sir Graham Livingston well. His death does truly touch me. As to your question, yes, I remember the man. However, I can tell you only little about him. What most confused me about him was his predilection for secrecy combined with his attitude of provoking people whenever he saw a chance to do so. This combination of traits disturbed a lot. I remember many din

Very beautiful. I like it.

Jonathan Cullen (The Loss of Innocence) "Sir, I’m going to repeat my question," the stout cop said with a mischievous look. "Mister Jonathan Cullen, where have you been on Tuesday evening last week, between eight and half past eight?" "That was one week ago. You should remember it," his companion added. They were standing in front of my door and I gazed at them, feeling totally annoyed. The men were bothering me. I had just sat down at my desk in order to write a report. The elevator at th
