The Singing Safecracker

Published: Sept. 9, 2022, 7:05 a.m.

With his uniquely gifted voice, Nate tries to right a wrong by doing wrong.

Genre: Fantasy, Mystery

 

Excerpt:
As it turned out, Nate was the real deal. When he sang, his voice was like honey and sunshine. The piano player joked that Nate’s last name was a fitting one for a man who could make people cry waterfalls worth of tears, whether he was singing a happy and hopeful song or a sad and mournful one. It was Nate himself who cried the first time he read a glowing review in the papers. He’d regretted that his mother wasn’t there to read it, to see that her pride and faith in him had paid off at last. The reviewer said that Nate’s voice had the power to “unlock hearts.” That word. “Unlock.” It stuck with Nate.
