Synopsis/blurb....
Handcuffed, on your knees, watching another man dig your grave.
That's where Rick Steen finds himself in CEMETERY PLOT, a suspenseful short story by veteran author Steve Brewer, creator of the Bubba Mabry mysteries.
In this hard-boiled story, set in rural Arkansas, crosses and double-crosses pile up, and nobody walks away unbloodied.
A thrilling short story by a master of the genre!
Another quick bump to the reading stats with this Steve Brewer short story, available at Amazon on it's own and acquired through a current Kindle Unlimited monthly trial.
Three guys, a car ride, a trunk, handcuffs, a pistol, a missing bale of marijuana and one severely annoyed dealer, a black cemetery on the edge of town, a six foot shovel, some manual labour, and a confrontation........things don't end well for any of our characters
Eleven pages, and a good fun read..... dialogue, action, well-described events and setting, interesting characters - shady of course and another reminder, not that it was needed of how much I enjoy this author's work. Next...4 from 5

This sounds power-packed, Col - lots happening in the one short story. And now I'm wondering how that buy got himself in that dealer's bad graces... I like the setting for this one, too. Glad you thought it was a good 'un.
ReplyDeleteThanks Margot. I know I'm in for an enjoyable time when I'm reading Steve Brewer.
DeleteBrewer’s works are on my list of stories to get to. Thanks, Col.
ReplyDeleteI don't know whether he still writes shorts or not. The 5 I downloaded are all from around 2012/2013. I have enjoyed these sharp bursts from him.
