โฆ Synopsis
What price can you put on a human life?
Times are tough. Cabbie Lester Banks can't pay his bills. His gorgeous young neighbor, Chelsea, is also one step from the streets. Lester makes a sordid business deal with her. Things turn out worse than he could ever have imagined.
"Alec Cizak demonstrates in Down on the Street that he remains among the top fiction writers alive, regardless of genre. This is a crime story, but it's so much more. Words like sharpened blades cut out the reader's heart, emotionally and otherwise. I read this novella in a burst. A week later, I'm still absorbing it." --Rob Pierce, author of Uncle Dust and With the Right Enemies.
