Malice

While he's in the midst of a drug related homicide investigation, Detective Justin Young's 7-year old niece, Lisa, vanishes from her mother's home. With a pedophile living nearby, Justin tries to control his anger, but loses his mind while waiting for the slow wheels of justice to turn. Is it the usual suspect? Or is this a case where no one is who they appear to be?

Malice is a short story from the anthology Telling Really Tall Tales by Angel Berry
