Hardluck Stories

"PI's are known for smart talk, a tougher than nails demeanor and an eye for the women. These fourteen gritty stories by the 'cream of the crop' of PI writers contain all of these elements along with a dab of humor, a sprinkling of erotica and a plateful of murder all tied up in a food basket fit for the most discerning taste."

-- Small Press Reviews (Jan/Feb. 2004)

"IN GLOCK WE TRUST" by Art Montague is the story of Edward Hayes, a career bank robber dogged by two corrupt cops twice his size. Filled with great imagery, vivid character descriptions and snappy dialog tinged with humor, IN GLOCK WE TRUST is an engrossing tale of underestimation with a satisfying conclusion..."
