This short story tribute to the Noir and Hard-boiled genre and era of crime writing comes with an O. Henry twist. Two women, one a detective, the other an apparent felon and fugitive from the law, strike up an edgy romantic relationship that leaves one of them short a thousand dollars. But that’s not the problem, is it? By the time she finds out the whys and wherefores of Roberta Blue, Detective Delores “Duke” Avante is also missing a big piece of her heart.
Additionally, this eBook contains substantial Excerpts from two T.T. Thomas full-length novels, The Girl With 2 Hearts and A Delicate Refusal.
