The Last Redhead

Sometimes you do it for the money.
Sometimes you do it for the thrill.

What is "hardboiled" fiction? The girl you gave a ride to, without mentioning it to your wife … The "sure thing" at the race track … The payroll money "no one" will miss … "Hardboiled" fiction is a regrettable mistake … and sometimes people don't live to regret.

JOHN L. FRENCH has worked for over 40 years as a crime scene investigator. As a break from the realities of his job, he writes science fiction, pulp, horror, fantasy, and (of course) crime fiction.
