Story Profile: “How to Get Bloodstains Out of Leather Pants”
Merry Christmas! I hope that everybody reading this blog has a happy– and healthy– New Year!
The annual anthology Best New England Crime Stories is a collection of mysteries set in the New England states. The authors of the tales don’t have to be from the region, as long as their tales prominently feature these areas. I have a story in the 2020 edition.
While most of the Funderburke mysteries are set in the Milwaukee area, sometimes Funderburke and Nerissa come across crimes as they travel. In “How to Get Bloodstains Out of Leather Pants,” the duo are attending a weekend conference at a small college in rural Massachusetts. It’s a scruffy little campus, and not many of the faculty are particularly friendly, though the pair do make friends with a young woman who’s an adjunct in the Popular Culture department, with a specialty in Buffy the Vampire Slayer studies.
When a prominent professor is murdered, it’s up to Funderburke and Nerissa to find out who did it. But what happens when the killer seems more sympathetic than the victim?
Masthead: Best New England Crime Stories is now available in paperback.
