Carnivore (A Fairytale Assassin Short Story)

Assassin Veronica Grim's on a mission to catch a kiddie killer with a taste for red heads. She and her fellow agent, Chuck, must set up a sting operation to catch this Mr. Wolfe before he kills (and eats) his next victim--a bratty pageant girl named Ginger.

Things heat up when Wolfe poses as a talent scout, inviting the girl and her Grandma to his house in the woods for a private performance. Veronica can't move in without getting evidence first, but is haunted by memories of another mission where she arrived too late.

Can she play by the rules and also catch a killer? Or will Ginger end up as the main course?
