Editorial Reviews

Product Description

REDUCTION IN FORCE is a collection of two Suburban Noir Short Stories, originally published in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine. The stories are set in the high-pressure work environment of Silicon Valley, California -- a place where good fortune can suddenly be reversed.

TALKING HERSELF TO DEATH: Eddie is the only person at CompuTech who can tolerate Jill Madison's tedious chatter. Even Eddie's patience wears thin after Jill's employment is terminated and she pushes their friendship too far.

A GOOD MAN: When his job becomes the victim of a "reduction in force", David realizes that being a good man hasn't paid off, so why bother?

Approximately 34 pages in print.
