Two shots. Two stories. No exits. Two hard-hitting crime tales collide in one brutal, breathless volume. Gritty, propulsive, and soaked in noir, these stories cut to the bone—where survival demands a cost and the bill always comes due. Bandaids Don't Fix Bullet Holes by Troy Lambert: A wounded operator is outgunned, outnumbered, and running on fumes when a tough, quick-thinking chef with EMT chops drags him back from the brink. With hired killers closing in and the clock bleeding out, trust becomes a weapon—and every choice could be the last. Bullet: A Thriller by Vincent Zandri: A mid-list writer staring down debt, drink, and a blank page watches a round shatter his night and rake open old sins. Cops, lovers, and enemies orbit the blast radius as truth and lies trade places, and the only way through the dark is to own the damage—or be buried by it. Together, these razor-edged noirs explore the fallout of bad decisions, the thin line between savior and sinner, and how far people will go when cornered. Fast pace. Hard choices. Consequences that don't miss. Read now and pull the trigger on your next obsession.
