In a chaotic wedding procession, no one notices that the groom has been shot – not even when he slumps face forward on his horse.

In a lodge in the Himalayas, a journalist attending a workshop for budding crime-fiction writers is accused of murder.

From sinister motives to lonely obsessions, these stories are equal parts shocking and suspenseful while also highlighting everyday tensions of our lives – a haunting reminder that in today's world, no one is ever truly innocent.
