The Curious Case of Rabbit and the Temple Goddess is now available!

This is the story that I sold to Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine last year and was in their 2014 Jan/Feb issue. I have also sold the second Rabbit story, Rabbit and the Missing Daughter to Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine. I don’t know when it will be published, but I’m assuming sometime later this year.

This story is free on my website for the next couple of weeks. It is also available for sale as an ebook for $2.99 at all the usual retailers.

The blurb:

When a mysterious stranger steals a beautiful silver statue of a local goddess, Rabbit finds himself accused of the theft. It’s the latest in a series of troubles for his favorite temple: the priest died mysteriously just the month before, and no one can find the deed for the land the temple occupies.

But are they just coincidences? Or is foul work at play?

Rabbit must confront not only his strict master, the bullying local magistrate, and a mighty warrior, but himself as well.

This mystery is set in Tang Dynasty China.
