Publisher's Synopsis
Twenty stories, including the Derringer Award winning "All My Yesterdays" and the Derringer Award nominated "Cuts Like a Knife," introduce readers to the hardboiled world of crime fiction writer Michael Bracken. Included are tales of hard-bitten newspaper reporters, average men pushed too far by an uncaring world, and criminals of all stripes. Each of these stories tears back society's scabs to reveal the festering fear, prejudice, and violence hidden beneath the surface. Whether alone or helped by family, friends, and co-workers, the characters in these stories ultimately face the darkness within men's souls.
