The White Envelope

“I admire a well-crafted story, one that entertains in the telling as well as with the story. Richard Vetere is such a writer. Not surprising that this novel of a murder served cold won a Whodunit Mystery Award.”
- Edward Squires, Not quite a Novella

Every week a ten-year-old boy picks up a mysterious envelope from his aunt … then one day he discovers her dead on the floor of her dreary home, a knife plunged into her chest. The murder wasn’t solved for nearly 50 years. And how that came about is the story that will enthrall you with its telling – as a young boy becomes an old man and discovers the truth of his childhood.
