Book Description

Alan Rodgers Books July 2001
This ain’t your Mama’s anthology and these tales ain’t for the faint-hearted. These are raw, gritty stories exploring the dark abyss of men’s souls.

With the sound of gunfire ringing in their ears and the stench of blood on their clothes, these private eyes and tough guys face their darkest fears and most cunning adversaries.

Here are tales of love and hate, sex and power, crime and punishment, fear and retribution — tales that grab you by the throat, slam you against the wall, then drag you back for more.

Here are men and women who catch everything life throws at them, then throw it right back.

Here are fourteen hardboiled tales guaranteed to blow your hat off!

More About the Author

He has contributed articles to "The Writer" and other writing publications, contributed a chapter to the writing textbook "Many Genres, One Craft," is one of five authors featured in "Writing Erotica," and is extensively quoted in "The 101 Habits of Highly Successful Novelists."
