Inspired by recent true events, the all-original stories in Witnesses for the Dead are set in motion by the act of witnessing. The characters who populate these pages are not themselves the perpetrators of the crimes they see, but as they grapple with what to do - take action or retreat into the shadows - their lives are indelibly changed. The stories are incisive, unflinching, wry, dark, and, in some cases, terrifying. You''ll ask yourself: If I saw what they saw, what would I do?
