Probable Cause, the second Susanna Antonia story in The Alosta Case Files, is available now on Kindle.
This one starts simple.
A man is found shot in the back. There’s a witness. There’s a suspect. There’s a story that makes sense.
Case closed.
Except it isn’t.
Antonia doesn’t trust easy answers. The more she looks, the more the case starts to come apart—small details, things that don’t quite fit, the kind of inconsistencies that get overlooked when everyone just wants to move on.
That’s really what this story is about.
Not just the crime, but the pressure to close it. The difference between solving something and finishing it. The things that get ignored along the way.
About the Story
Probable Cause continues the Susanna Antonia series—stories set in Alosta that follow investigations where the truth isn’t always the same thing as the outcome.
If Code Two was about patterns hiding in plain sight, this one is about what happens when the obvious answer is the wrong one.
It’s a short, fast read, but it sits in that space I’m interested in—where procedure, instinct, and pressure collide.
Now Available
You can find Probable Cause on Kindle now.
If you’ve already read Code Two, you’ll recognize the world. If not, this works as a standalone entry point.
