For Larison, a man off the grid and on the run, the sleepy northern California town of Arcata, gateway to the state's fabled Lost Coast, seems like a perfect place to disappear for a while. But Arcata isn't nearly as sleepy as it seems, and when three locals decide Larison would make a perfect target for their twisted sport, Larison exacts a lifetime of vengeance in one explosive evening.
Warning: this story is intended for mature audiences, and contains depictions of sexual activity, though perhaps not in the way you're expecting. 6600 words (about 28 pages in paper). Download includes the first three chapters of the new John Rain novel, The Detachment (available soon), featuring Larison, Rain, Dox, Treven, and others. Also includes a fun interview with novelist J.A. Konrath, a terrific writer, great friend, and the person most responsible for getting me to try a short story and to try indie publishing, as well. So if you have any complaints at all about the story, obviously the person to blame is Joe. And you'll also get excerpts from RUN and FLEE, the new novels by Blake Crouch and J.A. Konrath & Ann Voss Peterson, some of the hottest thriller writers in the business.
