The Only Problem: And Other Stories

A cop-turned-armed-robber on his way to the payoff should always expect betrayal, but he thinks he's only risking his life until everything goes wrong . . . A young restaurateur trying to save his first venture by mule-ing a kilo of coke learns what it means to do anything . . . A hard-boiled detective will go a long way to find his friend's murderer, even if the trail leads through a crooked police department, the arms of a lusty heiress, and a midnight ambush . . . The Only Problem and Other Stories is a collection of hard-boiled, noir, and caper stories, set in the roaring '20s, the crumbling '70s, modern day, and no day at all. Inspired by masters of genre such as Raymond Chandler, James Ellroy, and John Godey, detectives, bounty hunters, cops, drug dealers, thugs, the lawyer outside the law, and the guy in the wrong place all take their turn on stage, telling the story of life from its lowliest filth to the gleam of a diamond in the rough. So, strap on your .45, grab a bottle for the road, and let's roll.
