This crime fiction anthology opens with an original story from Chris F. Holm, followed by his interview about the craft. Todd Robinson, editor of Thuglit, contributes a violent tale that cuts deep. Renee Asher Pickup delivers "Amanda Will Be Fine," a story that unsettles readers long after the final page. Paul D. Brazill, known as the King of Brit Grit, crafts a revenge story with his signature edge. Travis Richardson blends yoga with organized crime in an unexpectedly compelling combination. Mike Miner transports readers to the Amazon River basin with a story that pulses with life. Walter Conley rounds out the fiction with Connecticut thugs who meet their match.
