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.

About the Book

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

Justice takes many forms in this powerful anthology of eleven crime‑driven tales.

Kidnappings ignite desperate searches. Revenge simmers beneath the surface. Courtrooms become battlegrounds. And killers walk in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

From abductions and manhunts to courtroom pressure, vigilante justice, and psychological unraveling, each story delivers the full spectrum of crime fiction: moral conflict, high‑stakes confrontations, and the dangerous gray zones where truth and survival collide.

Perfect for readers who crave fast‑paced crime stories, psychological tension, and twists that cut to the bone.

Book Spotlight: Death of a Princess by R.N. Morris

 


Summer 1880.

Lipetsk, a spa town in Russia.

The elderly and cantankerous Princess Belskaya suffers a violent reaction while taking a mud bath at the famous Lipetsk Sanatorium. Soon after, she dies.

Dr Roldugin, the medical director of the sanatorium, is at a loss to explain the sudden and shocking death.

He points the finger at Anna Zhdanova, a medical assistant who was supervising the princess’s treatment.

Suspicion also falls on the princess’s nephew Belsky, who appears far from grief-stricken at his aunt’s death.

Meanwhile, investigating magistrate Pavel Pavlovich Virginsky arrives in Lipetsk from St Petersburg, seeking treatment after a nervous breakdown.

Against his better judgement, Virginsky is drawn in to the investigation. But is he getting closer to the truth or walking straight into a deadly trap?
