Here’s a snippet from the
opening of Bar Fight, the third story
in my collection, Storm Chaser Shorts.
The story’s being told by State Trooper Chance Hamlin, about one of the main
characters in my upcoming novel, The Notorious
Ian Grant:
Bar Fight
“I can remember the first moment I knew Fran Vargas
would someday make detective. I’d answered a report of a disturbance at a bar,
one of those downtown holes in the wall with a door, a plate glass window, and
a tiny parking lot in the back. A few minutes earlier some guy showed up at the
police station downtown, his face a bloody pulp, to claim he’d gotten jumped
for no reason as he left the bar.
“There’s always a reason.”

DeleteIt's an intriguing snippet!
ReplyDeleteI never realized how noir-ish it sounded until I read that snippet off by itself ...
