✦ Synopsis

Thirty-one bullets that will leave you gasping for breath...

From hardboiled to noir to just plain human, these stories allow you to experience lives you escaped, and to do so with dignity, humor, and an eye toward tomorrow.

"What sets those particular stories apart is their ability to catch the browns and grays of the characters quickly, subtly and persuasively." --Barnstable Patriot

"The sometime EQMM poet is so smoothly readable, explores such a variety of inventive situations, and is so ambitious in structure and theme, even the stories that don't quite hit the mark make enjoyable reading." --Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine

"Each story is fresh and original, set against a New England backdrop, and includes colorful characters from diverse walks of life. Each plot twists and turns to its totally surprising and unpredictable ending." --Examiner
