The Accused By Harold R. Daniels

In The Accused, Alvin Morlock’s life spirals into chaos after a whirlwind marriage to Louise, a woman who turns out to be far from the quiet, sensitive partner he expected. What begins as minor frustrations—unpaid bills and drunken arguments—escalates into a nightmare, culminating in Morlock’s trial for murder. With every witness against him, Morlock is left fighting not only for his freedom but for the truth about the woman he married.

The Snatch follows two desperate men, Howard Mollison and Lou Morgan, who hatch a scheme to kidnap a wealthy money-lender’s grandson. What begins as a quick fix for their financial woes turns into a high-stakes moral struggle, as Mollison enlists a dim-witted accomplice to ensure the job is done, while Morgan grapples with his own conscience. Now, with trust broken and the boy’s life in jeopardy, Morgan must outsmart his own partner in a tense struggle between greed and humanity.

Both thrillers delve into the darker sides of ambition, desperation, and betrayal, pulling readers into tense, morally complex situations that keep the suspense building until the last page.
