Scribbler Tales: The Crime and Justice Collection by Mary Ann Bernal – Cinematic Trailer – When Truth Cuts Deep

 


Abducted • Broken Promises • Deception • Malice • Manhunt • Murder in the First Payback • Reckless • Safeguard • The Night Stalker • Turning Point

Note: This collection contains previously published stories from the Scribbler Tales series.

In a world where every decision has consequences, and every secret has a price, Scribbler Tales: The Crime and Justice Collection delivers eleven gripping stories that expose the darkest corners of human motive, morality, and survival.

A woman vanishes without a trace. A killer stalks the night. A prosecutor faces the case that could break everything. A split‑second choice spirals into a deadly reckoning.

Police, victims, criminals, and ordinary people collide as investigations twist, loyalties fracture, and the truth becomes a weapon. Each story begins with a spark — a betrayal, a disappearance, a crime — and unravels into a tense battle for justice where nothing is simple and no one walks away unchanged.


A Note from the Author

I wrote Scribbler Tales: The Crime and Justice Collection to explore the fragile balance between right and wrong — and what happens when that balance shatters. Crime fiction is not just about the act itself; it’s about the ripple effect, the moral weight, and the choices that define who we become when the stakes are highest.

These stories examine the gray areas of justice: the moments when the law fails, when vengeance tempts, and when survival demands impossible decisions. Each character faces a truth they can’t escape and a reckoning that forces them to confront who they really are.

This collection is a journey through tension, consequence, and the haunting realization that justice is rarely clean — and never free.
