the author of The Rands Conspiracy and Deadly Research comes a
collection of dark tales, five stories that could give a writer
a sinister reputation.
A scientist for a Big Pharma firm sees more danger in his latest product than just the test results.
A man in a rut reaches for something - anything - to keep from being bored with life.
A killer waits for the right moment while old memories play upon him.
A local journalist for a small-town press follows a story that takes him into the sordid, private lives of people he thought he knew.
A small town in the mid-1950's, headlights tear down two-lane blacktops and sirens whine in the night as a detective leads an investigation that could cost him his life.
If you can't sleep, this collection won't help.
