Synopsis

Fresh as the day they were baked, comes a new collection of stories from the author of ‘Shorts’. Set in the village of Little Bunting, Andrew delivers his daily bread to those he terms his Baker’s Dozen: a motley crew ranging from the crusty to the soft, the fruity and the sweet and those who are past their sell-by date.  The village is not all that it seems and a sense of unease creeps through its streets, as illusions, disguises, pretence and the fake lead us along deceptive paths while surrealist paintings take on a life.  Take my hand and come through the gate and witness the strange goings-on, for it all happens in a country village!

    My life got turned upside down when I got an inheritance from the grandmother I never knew existed. Of course, it came with stipulations, one of them being that I attend this rich as hell private school. Not so bad, right? Wrong. I come from the wrong side of the tracks, and I thrive there. Cursing is my only language, I’m covered in tattoos, and the sound of breaking bones is like music to my ears. 
    I’m bored though. Ever since my uncle put me on the back burner due to a small incident, I’ve been going out of my damn mind not doing the usual jobs for him–the bloody ones. So I decided to give it a go and rich bitch myself up, looking and acting nothing like the real me: unobservant, meek, and innocent. None of which I am even close to being. 
    I figured I’d do it for a day and then say I tried and call it quits. The problem? The Kings, Rome, Ace, Rip, Malachi, and Mason, took an instant interest in me, bringing me into their group. So I’ve been playing meek and mild for months when all I want to do is have my wicked way with them–that is until they suddenly turn on me. 
    I think it’s about time the real me came out to play, and it’s a damn shame no one can warn them it’s going to get bloody! 
    Contains mature themes.

    The area around greater San Francisco was suffering through a killing spree, but not your “run-of-the-mill” killing spree, this perp was different. He didn’t just rape and kill, he actually “staged” his victims in public venues, like they were works of art. The people around San Francisco were freaking out and wanted answers. Everyone’s favorite billionaire, Mr. Araby Triplehorn, stepped up to find a solution. That solution? A quirky private investigator from Arizona, who had received national attention from success on other major cases, Blake Moran. While some would say that his tagline left something to be desired, “We Find Stuff”, his success rate was impressive and inarguable. This serial killer was a unique problem for Blake, and the investigation would get extremely personal, but could he stop this perp and his killing spree before the perp stopped him?
