Not your cup of tea? There’ll be another one next month.
The calm before the storm…
Tasked to document every move criminal mastermind Nick Liang makes, Private Investigartor Susan Murray chooses to draw.
Part life drawing, part Method of loci memory palace, part plain old excuse.

Susan and the Gangster by Alexandria Blaelock is free on this website for a month.
