The Escape of Mr Trimm
A Masterful Collection of Psychological Thrillers and Tales of Dark Desperation

In this chilling collection of suspense and psychological torment, the lines between victim and villain blur, and the human mind becomes the most inescapable prison of all.The Escape of Mr Trimm follows a disgraced Wall Street titan who miraculously survives a devastating train wreck while on his way to federal prison. Bound in unbreakable steel handcuffs, he vanishes into the unforgiving wilderness, only to discover that his wealth and cunning are utterly useless against starvation, madness, and the physical chains that bind him to his crimes.In The Belled Buzzard, an aging, calculating squire commits the perfect, undetectable murder—until the heavens themselves seem to mock him. A buzzard, marked by an eerie, jangling cowbell, begins to circle endlessly above, driving the guilty man to the brink of insanity with its relentless, metallic tolling.Finally, An Occurrence Up a Side Street places us inside a suffocating, fly-infested New York apartment with two desperate fugitives. Cornered by the police and suffocating from the heat and their own paranoia, they begin to turn on each other in a deadly game of betrayal.Penned with razor-sharp prose and a masterful grasp of human psychology, Edward Richardson delivers gripping, atmospheric noir that will echo in your mind long after the final chapter.
