Crime Fiction Stories By Caroline Friehs




            While I was in graduate school, one of my professors suggested that I write crime fiction.  So I gave it a try.  I wrote four crime dramas, each with a different perspective in a crime: the criminal, the detective, the falsely accused, and an assassin.  These books are available for download on Amazon.  The following are each of my tales with links so you can buy them if you wish.






Unburying the Shield

A teenage Neo-Nazi finds out he’s Jewish.  He can not let the other members of his Nazi cell find out.  This is a story of redemption, and redemption doesn’t happen immediately.  Rob Nuzzio goes from being a hateful human being to regaining his sense of humanity by realizing that we are all human.  As the story unfolds, his moral compass keeps spinning, going from hate to acceptance to confusion - all in a time crunch for deciding whether or not to get revenge on his worst enemy, a Jewish rival.  Will he get arrested?  Will his friends find out?






Purple Brownie

A serial killer is preying on punks and goths at a mall in Langhorne, PA.  Sixteen-year-old Farrah Griffin decides to dress up punk to lure in the killer and catch him.  She may not be a cop like her older sister, but she knows Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.  Farrah learns just how difficult an investigation can be; multiple suspects, benign aliases, and learning which information is important – sometimes too late.  It’s October, and Farrah can hardly think about Halloween when she is living in a horror flick.  She soon realizes it will take more than a purple belt in BJJ to defeat this foe.






Spin the Gavel

Ryan Schaeffer is a sexist, racist, homophobic Machiavellian who judges everyone and everything.  There are very few things he likes.  Unexpectedly, he gets accused of gang raping a man and partaking in his murder.  Now everyone is judging him.  Ryan knows he is innocent – at least in the legal sense. 









Mindful Self Destruction

An assassin has a bomb inside his brain.  The detonator is thought activated, which means the assassin, Clark Aspen, must avoid thinking a specific thought that would trigger the internal bomb.  Though, someone is trying to reach Aspen, and cause him to self-destruct.  This hardly scares this strong minded assassin, who contemplates whether or not he has a conscience and if he deserves his burden.
