Here’s the set-up:
From the master of the “heart-whamming” read (Publishers Weekly) comes a novella of suspense and three new stories. Full of the twists and shocks James Scott Bell is known for, these taut tales are guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your e-reader long into the night.
In the title novella, “Watch Your Back,” hotshot IT guy Cameron Cates seems to have it all. A secure job, a fiancée who loves him and the prospect of a steady life ahead. But then he sees her. The new woman at work. And like watching a car crash in slow motion, Cam knows he can’t turn away and is powerless to stop what happens next. A tale of lust and greed and corporate America––and what happens to dreams that become all too real.
“Fore Play” is the story of the world’s top golfer and the trouble that follows his off the course activities. Let’s put it this way: his game will never be the same.
In “Rage Road,” a nice young couple thinks they’re out for a smooth ride through some lovely country. The truck behind them has a different idea.
Married man Frank Dabney has learned to listen to his wife, Susie. But in “Heed the Wife” he finds out he may have listened one too many times.
–-In the Library Review
“James Scott Bell makes no secret of his love for the noir genre of fiction. In this, his first foray into e-books, he gives us some great examples of that genre. The writing is crisp, the characters well-drawn, and the stories move at a rapid clip. I look forward to more of these from this talented writer. If noir fiction is your dish, grab this one.”
–Richard Mabry, author of The Tender Scar
“The three short stories are quite effective on giving a twist to a predictable setup. In Foreplay, a rich married PGA golfer meets his match in a ravishing beauty. In Rage Road , the tables are turned on a man who commits an act of violence. In Heed the Wife, a man is forced by a controlling wife to commit a crime.”
–Bill Garrison, Top 1000 Reviewer
