About this ebook
Winner of the CWA Short Story Dagger.
Every life is uncertain. Every choice is a danger.
Set on the dark side of Los Angeles, this is a masterful collection of edge-of-your-seat tales: a prison guard must protect an inmate being tried for heinous crimes. A father and son set out to rescue a young couple trapped during a wildfire after they cross the border. An ex-con trying to make good as a security guard stumbles onto a burglary plot. A young father must submit to blackmail to protect the fragile life he's built.
Sweet Nothing is an intense and gripping journey through real lives with big problems, from one of America's great short story writers.
