Not every crime is committed with intent, but each has one thing in
common: the guilty party was asking for trouble.
In "Making Ends Meet," Richard can't stand the idea of supporting his
deadbeat in-laws anymore, so he decides to remove them from his
life--permanently. Matt is ready to reform his brawling ways, but the
group he joins doesn't turn out to be a typical 12-step program, in "The
Taskmasters." "Protecting the Innocent" features Nick, who fails to heed
the warnings of his girlfriend's possessive brother. And with "A Gun in
the House," Leah refuses to move from her beloved home, leading to
protective measures with disastrous results. These and six others send
out the invitation for disaster--one that's gladly accepted.
The ten taut tales in this collection from award-winning crime-fiction
author Simon Wood are rife with good intentions gone bad--and bad
intentions gone worse. Filled with jaw-dropping twists and turns,
Asking for Trouble is a wild ride that will leave readers clamoring
for more.
