Description
Seven stories from the papers of one of America’s finest crime authors
Roger doesn’t mean for the preacher and his wife to die. Released less than a year earlier from San Quentin, he’s trying to make a living the only way he knows how: theft. His latest heist goes perfectly until his car breaks down. Sirens are closing in when an old black preacher stops to give him a lift. The police at the roadblock kill the elderly couple, but in the eyes of the law it’s Roger’s fault. And he will die in the gas chamber at San Quentin—unless he can break out first.
Roger’s incredible story anchors this collection of short fiction by Edward Bunker, who knew better than anyone what it means to be a criminal, inside and outside of prison. In these stories, which were unpublished at the time of his death in 2005, he shows again the talent that made him such a remarkable writer.

Advance Praise
“Edward Bunker is a true original of American letters. His books
are criminal classics: novels about criminals, written by an
ex-criminal, from the unregenerately criminal viewpoint.” —James Ellroy
“At 40 Eddie Bunker was a hardened criminal with a substantial prison record. Twenty-five years later, he was hailed by his peers as America's greatest living crime writer.” —The Independent
“I don’t know if any politicians read Bunker. But they should.” —The Guardian
