Experience a heart-pumping and thrilling tale of suspense!

Originally published in THRILLER (2006),
edited by #1 New York Times bestselling author James Patterson.

In this clever Thriller Short, New York Times bestselling writer James Siegel channels Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler in a wondrously dark tale about a nameless hero.

“Anger is what cost me my home, and anger is what put me into court-ordered therapy, and anger is what finally kicked me off the LAPD and into hotel security, where I can be angry without killing anyone.” 

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work out that way.

Things only get worse when three more stoned gunmen join the fray and threaten a crowd of customers. Not a big fan of heroics, Jack rises to the occasion. But being the hero is hard when you like to avoid closed-circuit cameras and the only weapons at your disposal come from the shopping aisles. With everyone locked inside the store, the situation demands quick reflexes and a ton of ingenuity. But if Jack doesn’t act quickly, his anonymity will end at the morgue.
