Emily and Martha

Emily and Martha are sisters. They have issues with their father. Who doesn't? They are trying to grow up as best they can.

Emily and Martha are sisters. They work for criminals. Who doesn't? They kidnap people and do other low level chores from mobsters

.

Two vastly different visions of Emily and Martha.

First, they were in a series of poems by Tony Brown. They are thoughtful and insightful. Then, David Macpherson asked to "borrow" the sisters for a group of noir short stories. He made them criminals. Don't blame Tony for that.

This collection has Tony's poems and David's stories featuring Emily and Martha. It is a wild ride of contrasts. Beautiful poetry and sharp crime fiction in one volume, who can ask for more?
