J Kathleen Cheney's "Afterimage" (novelette, murder mystery, free)

DeVane Michaelson, a rich lawyer, is murdered. Suspects include his secretary Veronica he's been having a love affair with, & his wife Manisone. Detective William Greene will unravel the case, with help.

Throughout the story, we see references to "Purists", a terrorist organization opposed to body implants, something common in the universe of the story. But these references are only a minor distraction; this is a proper murder mystery & an easy read.
