Publisher Description
Not all assassins are cold, calculating shadows of death. Some are just… doing their best, paying the bills and voiding HR. WETWORKS is a collection of ten chilling, wickedly entertaining short stories sprinkled with humor, and high caliber action.
Inside, you will find:
Trigger Point—Bad News Becca gets roped into a Shakesperean violent drama involving the dangerous motorcycle club known as The Sons of Cain. Spoiler: it does not end in iambic pentameter.
A Prayer for the Dead—The proverbial man-with-no-name has one last job before he retires. Sound familiar? Think again.
Velvet was the Night—An operative known as "Mr. Paladin" agrees to an interview with a young up-and-coming reporter. What could go wrong?
Memento Mori—A grizzled hitman takes his nephew to the Sonoran Desert for his first assignment. Family bonding, bullets, and certain death are in store.
Rocks Off—Most folks celebrate an accomplishment by treating themselves to a day at the spa, an extravagant dinner, or a well-deserved vacation. Our protagonist is a simple man; he just wants to get laid.

Bergen Bulldog—There might be a lead in the case of the infamous yet, elusive mafia hitman known as the Bergen Bulldog.
Rattlesnake Shake—The Great State of Texas is home to a small family of gun runners. An assassin has been hired to make room in the snake pit.
