  Book #3 in the SpoCompton crime series! 
  George “Mase” Masaryk knows about secrets. He has a few of his own, including the reason he left the police department. The son of Czechoslovak hippies, his life has been a strange journey from rebel to cop to private investigator. 
  It is a path his parents would never have chosen for him. 
  One full of secrets and regrets. 
  He is mulling over those secrets when businessman Andrew McDonough sits down next to him at the bar and the pair start drinking heavily. McDonough eventually asks Mase to help him with some “women problems.” It is a request Mase doesn’t even remember the next day, only recalling the foggy memory when Faye McDonough, Andrew’s wife, shows up at his office to hire him almost a week later. 
  Faye wants him to find McDonough, who is now missing. She doesn’t know if he’s run off with a lover, been kidnapped, or is dead somewhere, but expects Mase to find out. As he delves into the twisting secrets that surround Andrew McDonough, Mase encounters more questions than answers. All the questions are dangerous ones and if he’s going to survive to learn the truth, he needs to figure out that one fact that will make all of the pieces fall into place…

  Stories From the Shadows - Human...

  An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories. 
   
  But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
   
  Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.

  100 ONE SENTENCE STORIES: STORIES OF EVERYDAY LIFE, INSIGNIFICANT YET BEAUTIFUL, CAN BE JUST AS POWERFUL AS THE EPIC TALES
  
  Short stories offer a concentrated dose of quality literary experience. They provide quick, accessible insights into the lives of other people, whether they're fictional or real. They can also be read quickly and easily, which is why they're especially popular among busy people who want to get in as much reading as possible without sacrificing quality.
  
  In addition to being great for getting more information in less time (and thus fitting into our fast-paced lives), short stories can also get into someone's head in ways that longer works can't—a fact borne out by the many instances where writers have published collections of their own fictional works over time. In effect, these writers have created their own little universes through which we can walk and explore.
  
  And that is exactly what we offer here.
