Quick Stop
by Niche of One Store
$5
Maxwell Ward retired from a job nobody retires from and moved to South St. Louis to disappear. A cat named Trevor. Coffee with another old soldier. Two ways out of every room, on principle.
Then the corner store that keeps his street honest gets leaned on, and the family who runs it has nobody. So Max asks for the night shift.
The men doing the squeezing answer to somebody. That somebody launders money for people who answer to no one, and one of them used to be Max's partner. Lean, patient, violent pulp noir, built around a man who would much rather have been left alone.
Pre-order. You are charged now; the finished novel is delivered on release.
