What This Collection Covers:
Together these two stand-alone yet complementary tales showcase Chloe Gong’s talent for weaving crime, suspense, and strategic intrigue across distinct landscapes. A Foul Thing centers on loyalty, survival, and the costs of running a discreet empire in a tight-knit community under pressure. The narrative crescendos as the investigators confront a web of connections that blur lines between friend and foe, forcing the protagonists to reckon with the consequences of every choice. This Foul Murder shifts to a moving train where time and danger escalate the tension. Benedikt and Marshall must improvise, persuade, and outthink a cunning mastermind while contending with limited space, shifting loyalties, and the clock ticking toward an irreversible discovery. The collection as a whole rewards readers who enjoy twist-packed mysteries, strong female-led perspectives, and plots that reward careful attention to detail and motive.

Book-by-Book Guide:
A Foul Thing
Roma and Juliette—sisters who have carved out control of an underground weapons ring in Zhouzhuang—live a life of measured risk and quiet resilience. When reports surface of Russian girls found dead in nearby towns, they decide to investigate, hoping to protect their operation and the people around them. What begins as a localized threat soon reveals a far more personal menace, forcing the sisters to navigate a maze of loyalties, suspicion, and old scores. As clues converge, the sisters confront a dangerous conspiracy that tests their trust in each other and in the fragile peace they have built. The tension tightens with every reveal, delivering a suspenseful exploration of power, identity, and the price of staying hidden. This Foul Murder
Benedikt and Marshall have been summoned by Roma to hunt down the elusive Lourens in a week-long Trans-Siberian voyage. Their mission hinges on credible evidence and a careful balance of bold action and quiet observation. When a murder occurs aboard the train, they convince the officer in charge that they are investigators capable of solving the case if the journey continues. As they dig deeper, they discover that the crime is linked to their broader objective in ways they never expected. The confined setting amplifies tension, forcing rapid decisions, fragile alliances, and a relentless pursuit of truth as the train carries them toward a dangerous truth that could redefine their mission.
