Murder's Coming / Grave Without Grass

Lanky young criminologist Abelard Voss is enticed to investigate two separate mysteries in this volume.

Murder's Coming: A small mill town brews with the threat of violence as union organizers come to town. The discovery of a body in the river just when Abelard Voss arrives in town, responding to a strange letter, is just the beginning of a strange investigation in this atmospheric mystery.

Grave Without Grass: An anonymous letter suggests that Abelard Voss should investigate a cold case in a small town; suggesting too, that he might just save another life. A young woman's murder soon creates a troubling complication, and it becomes apparent that the killer has further plans.
