Six Sentence Sunday – The Handshaker
Today it’s the turn of The Handshaker, released last Friday by Crooked Cat Books.
In the short extract, Detective Inspector Millie Matthews is seeking hypnotist Felix Croft’s help on the Handshaker murders and Croft has just handed her an account of the notorious Heidelberg Case.
“That’s an overview of the case,” Croft said, “and what Walter did with her after their initial meeting. It puts a little meat on the bare bones.”
Millie gave them a glance, folded them in half and half again, and tucked them into her bag. “Hypnosis,” she said, bringing her own agenda to the fore. “If it’s so easy to overpower a person with it, how come more rapists, sex offenders, and killers don’t use it?”
“Because it’s not easy.”

The book is a departure from my usual light-hearted works, but I’m glad we tempted you, Debora. Thanks for stopping by.
