Knife Girl

Martha Von Miller has always gotten her best story ideas by eavesdropping.

She never thought much about what happened after she wrote them down.

She’s about to find out.

Knife Girl is a crime novelette about the moment someone realizes that words have weight. And that careless ones don’t disappear. They land somewhere.

“Knife Girl… had me on tenterhooks till the very end!”

Francelia Belton writes dark, tight crime and noir fiction. The kind that starts after the decision is already made. Her stories drop you in late, when everything is already moving, and by the last line it all makes a terrible kind of sense.

If you like your crime fiction dark, tight, and already in motion, this is for you.
