Sometimes you do it for the money.
Sometimes you do it for the thrill.
But usually, you do it for the girl.
What is “hardboiled” fiction? The girl you gave a ride to, without mentioning it to your wife … The “sure thing” at the race track … The payroll money “no one” will miss … “Hardboiled” fiction is a regrettable mistake … and sometimes people don’t live to regret. John L. French demonstrates “hardboiled” in 15 stories. Read them before you inevitably throw caution to the wind …
JOHN L. FRENCH has worked for over 40 years as a crime scene investigator. As a break from the realities of his job, he writes science fiction, pulp, horror, fantasy, and (of course) crime fiction.
