A collection of two thrilling crime stories from George Benton:The Patricia Ward Mystery and Guilty or Not Guilty. In The Patricia Ward Mystery, a young lady appears to vanish into thin air after being seen walking along a path. When a new investigation into her disappearance is launched, it seems that the only way to find the solution is to dig up secrets buried in the past. In Guilty or Not Guilty, a husband imprisoned in 1985 for the crime of murdering his wife is still to this day protesting his innocence. Someone claiming to have key evidence - which was not available at the time of the trial - contacts the local paper... but the knowledge on offer appears to come with a high price.
