Description
22 Crime Thrillers by bestselling, award-winning, and critically acclaimed authors!
What happens when the person you trust the most betrays you? That’s the question posed in BETRAYED, a powerful collection of stories about love, violence, and survival. The characters in these pages may suffer and bleed, but they fight back. They are survivors--not victims.
In Terri Lynn Coop’s Legal Aid, an overworked lawyer takes on a complex divorce case that just may get her fired ... or killed.
An invalid who believes his neighbor is tormenting his young wife takes matters into his own hands in Wendy Tyson’s Soap.
When a private investigator is hired to find someone who appears to have disappeared from the face of the earth, he questions whether some people should be found in How Not to Find Someone in Houston by Liam Sweeney.
And in Elizabeth Heiter’s The Second Shot a teenage girl is convicted of murdering her abusive father ... but is she really guilty?
As a bonus, New York Times bestseller Allison Brennan contributed the novella Mirror, Mirror about what happens when a police detective suspects her sister is hiding a dark secret ... a secret that just may get them both killed.
These stories and more fill the pages of the first anthology published by Authors on the Air. Victims become victors and – hopefully – justice is served.

A powerful collection of unforgettable crime fiction stories with mystery and a lot of suspense by a remarkable group of authors. A highly recommended read! I also like the fact that the proceeds benefit crime victims. Well done!
Holly D, Reviewer
With 22 different stories by 22 different authors, all highlighting domestic violence, this was a tough book to read. Many of the stories were incredibly well written and of course, some were better than others. It's such a gut wrenching topic that it was difficult to read one story after another for over 400 pages. I understand that the objective of this book is awareness, but it was too much for me to handle. I didn't finish the entire book. I had to pick and choose. And in the end, I put it down but picked up my laptop and made a donation to a local shelter for abused women and children.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC I received in exchange for my honest review.

An interesting mix of short stories by diverse authors. The novella by Allison Brennan has all new characters so is truly a stand-alone.
