Collateral Murder

A Dory Jing: Collateral Mysteries Novelette

When a quiet morning turns fatal behind a downtown restaurant, investigative journalist Dory Jing steps into a case that refuses to stay still. A dead man, a missing box, and a pattern of unintended consequences pull her into the dark logic of collateral truth — where every answer hides another absence.

In this Canadian noir mystery, Dory follows the edges of a story that bends sideways through guilt, secrecy, and the cost of seeing too much.

Her voice cuts through the fog. Her notebook keeps the record.

And the truth waits in the wrong place.
