Repentance

The man called Streetcar has reached the end of a bitter, bloody slog. The war that began long ago, in the jungles of Viet Nam, still rages within his troubled soul.

For years, Streetcar has fought fire with fire, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. He has saved innocent lives from a murderers row of talented killers, and the fight has taken its toll.

Although old age has stolen a step, Streetcar still possesses a skillset that has earned the respect of those who walk on the wise side. And when the paranoid Don of New Orleans seeks to kill kind old Sol D'Agostino, Streetcar will risk all to save Sol's life. This time, it will not end well. Innocents will suffer. In the end, when he runs out of options, Streetcar will finally ask for help.

M. C. Rudasill, an incurable and incorrigible teller of tales, writes stories that describe ordinary people plunged against their will into a crucible of crime and intolerance. His novels speak of life as we know it: of love and hatred, joy and grief, cruelty and mercy, irretrievable loss and unexpected redemption. He lives in Florida with his wife Susann and their irascible Bichipoos, Sam and Dave.
