You've got seconds to choose and a lifetime to regret it. In this short story collection, hesitation is a death sentence.

Jason Beech's razor-sharp collection proves that the line between an ordinary life and a nightmare is thinner than anyone wants to admit - and that people crossing it aren't monsters. They're neighbors. Coworkers. The guy who serves your chips on a Friday night. The dad you wave to at school pickup.

A minder tasked with protecting a crime boss' son discovers that loyalty isn't the same as doing the right thing - and by the time he realizes it, the choice has already been made for him. A woman driving through the countryside finds a dying stranger in a cornfield and has seconds to decide who she's willing to become. A father who thinks he's teaching his son about toughness doesn't notice the boy is quietly becoming something else entirely, something he'll never be able to undo.

Beech writes with the propulsive, can't-put-it-down urgency that makes you miss your stop on the train - each story a fuse lit at page one, burning toward a twist you won't see coming until it's already detonated. Set against gritty backdrops, these tales prove everyone has a secret, everyone has a breaking point, and everyone - given the right combination of desperation and opportunity - is capable of far more than they think.

You'll race through these stories. And then you'll lie awake wondering what you'd have done in their place.

For readers who love their crime fiction fast, twisty, and unable to be put down until the last betrayal is revealed.

Told in unflinching, blackly comic prose, these tales crackle with violence, dark humor, and unexpected tenderness. Beech's characters are liars, killers, and survivors - desperate people making impossible choices, often with a gun in one hand and regret in the other.
