    About this ebook

    Former cop Jim Grant doesn't carry a gun. These terrific shorts will convince you that he's more dangerous without one. 

    Boquillas Crossing

    Jim Grant rarely goes on vacation because when he does, it usually turns into just another day on the job. Take, for instance, his weekend getaway to Mexico. He’s hardly surprised to see some shady dealing going on between a couple of guests and the hotel proprietor. He is surprised, though, when what he assumes is a drug deal between the two parties turns out to be something very different.

    But no matter how surprised Grant is, it’s nothing compared to the reaction he gets when he steps into the fray.

    East Village Down

    In a Manhattan convenience store, a literary agent recognizes Jim Grant’s orange windcheater from the television news. Before she can corral him into a book deal, three masked thieves burst through the door with guns blazing.

    In a crisis like this, Grant knows the most important thing to do is keep everybody calm. But it quickly becomes clear that with these trigger-happy hoodlums, calm will only go so far.
