A pregnant single mother becomes a numbers runner in 1970s Brooklyn. An ex-con just wants to live in peace. A slacker detective searches for a missing teen. A serial killer exchanges bodies with a stand-up comic. A poet tries to win his ex back from her android lover. These are just a few of the hard-luck characters you’ll meet in this debut anthology of short stories, all hard-boiled and many with a dash of dark humor, by the Richie Narvaez, the author of HIPSTER DEATH RATTLE.
