About this title

Synopsis

Do You Know Me?: He only has one desperate need, to be known. He has asked many the question, but he never gets an answer. Now with his snap-knife in hand, he knows he has to try again to remove their masks, to see who they really are… and find someone who knows him at last.

Vengeance is Not Enough: First he loses his wife to cancer. Then, on the day they were going fishing together, his son Jimmy is killed by a hit-and-run driver. Now Timms is sitting in the doctor’s office, recovering from shock treatment—and trying to remember what day it is. But there are more shocks to come.

The Darkened Room: Garrow knows what it takes to commit the perfect murder. You just gotta arrange to be somewhere else. So he finagles his way into a drug bust. He figures ten days behind bars beats a murder rap. Yeah, it’s a perfect scheme alright.

Carnage in Calossa: A hophead, a girl and a human brute—they all spelled trouble for Tommy Winters. He should have been safe at sea instead of being on the beach in the worst pest hole in the South Pacific.

Death Lives in Brooklyn: Farrell is down to his last few coins when he witnesses a murder. But before he dies, the victim whispers something to him that changes his life forever.

The Devil Was Sick: In the far future, when all knowledge about all things may seemingly have been accumulated by Man, it will be most difficult for the academician to find a properly unexplored subject for his thesis. Acleptos solves that problem by doing research on the invocation of demons.

From the author of One is a Lonely Number, here are ten stories that offer a perfect introduction to the unconventional world of Bruce Elliott.
