They never saw her coming.

That was their first mistake.

Crime & Passion is a collection of crime and noir short stories.

Three women. Three reckonings. Each one already three moves ahead.

Love. Betrayal. Revenge.

In these stories, desire turns and loyalties fracture.

Praise for Crime & Passion:

“The elegant, tightly written stories in Francelia Belton’s collection Crime & Passion slip under your skin with the ease and suddenness of an assassin’s knife.

The takeaway? Beware a woman scorned. She’ll unman the villains, clean up the mess, and be on her way before the bad guys know what hit them.

Readers who love strong women and terrific writing will applaud this anthology.”

Barbara Nickless, Wall Street Journal bestselling author

Francelia Belton writes dark, tight crime and noir fiction. The kind that starts after the decision is already made. Her stories drop you in late, when everything is already moving, and by the last line it all makes a terrible kind of sense.

If you like your crime fiction dark, tight, and already in motion, this collection is for you.
