Synopsis

Eight original stories, each considering a contract. Every story has a fatal consequence and an unpredictable twist.

A trip to a horror museum ends with a deadly mishap. A burglar finds less and yet far more than he expects in his neighbour's safe. And greed--in the First World War as in the financial crash of 2008--costs more than money. In this collection of chilling and unexpected tales, human decisions have deadly consequences, and the contracts we sign--marriage contracts, consent forms, even package acceptance--can take our lives in unpredictable directions.

Meticulously researched history and strange magic mix in Fatal Contracts. Each story is a mystery, the endings shocking yet satisfying. Will you see the answer before the characters do?

This collection of stories are all in the ‘can’t put down’ category. It’s intriguing to experience so many twists, surprises and convincing profiles of plots and different locations. Sometimes grisly, sometimes shocking, but always enjoyable to become immersed in everything that is going on, and I love the overall style of David’s writing. Really good reads. Sid Gibson

An absorbing collection of brief mysteries, these stories offer a compelling insight into worlds which are not as they seem. With a wicked twist at the end - or a bullet to the head - their conclusions will turn your assumptions upside down. Read and enjoy: but take nothing for granted. Roy Jones
