From the Roman Empire to the Far East and from a dangerously repressed priest to strangers on a plane, these stories know no boundaries in their pursuit of violent killers and bloody endings.

Contributors include: Perry Brass, Hugh Fleetwood, Patrick Gale, Drew Gummerson, Francis King, Josh Lanyon, Felice Picano, Steven Saylor and Michael Wilcox.
