When the sun sets, and the neon buzzes to life, an entirely different population spills out onto the streets. Desperate hustlers, dope fiends, crooked cops, lost souls. Characters. In a small southern town, a catastrophic flood brings with it something new. Something alien. Something hungry. A disgraced former cop kidnaps the reporter who exposed his secrets to the world, and takes him on an overnight journey through the dangerous streets of Las Vegas on a mission of redemption. But will he make it to the other side alive? An old man, haunted by a psychopathic figure from his past, finds himself in a deadly game of cat and mouse. As the noose tightens, he finds himself returning to the life of violence that he thought was long buried. And liking it. A Casino heist gone wrong. A gunshot doctor and the woman of his dreams escape to the desert with millions in ill-gotten cash, followed by a cast of dangerous men with sinister agendas. These stories and more are all contained in this volume, a hard-boiled collection of rapid-fire noir in the tradition of Jim Thompson and Donald Westlake, with a little Stephen King weirdness thrown in for seasoning. Pull the blinds, pour a drink, and take a dip in the murky end of the pool. Come on in- the water’s fine.
