Short detective stories It was a long and almost unbearable drive out into the desert as the hot sun beat down on Detective Nose’s face. As luck would have it, his air conditioning had broken down only two days earlier and despite having all the windows open, the heat was simply excruciating. As the inspector sipped on some of the water that he brought for the trip, the thought that he may have somehow missed his destination was beginning to penetrate his mind.

As Nose reached the front door, Jason Ross introduced himself and motioned for the detective to come inside. The most notable item in the cabin could be seen in the middle of the floor; a body, evidently lifeless, sprawled on top of two sleeping bags that were casually laid there. “It was terrible,” Mrs. “You haven’t touched anything in the living room at all?” When I arrived, there were a few police officers and a small gathering of onlookers.
