Happy Hour and Other Philadelphia Cruelties by Tony Knighton
Publisher: Crime Wave Press
Release Date: 2015
“A young grifter steals an overcoat. As he discovers forty-thousand dollars in its inside pocket, the coat’s owners come after him.
The action never stops as his pursuers seem to be both ahead and behind him at all times, killing and destroying everything in their wake to catch up with their money and the young thief.
Happy Hour is as breathless as writing can be. Knighton’s debut novella is accompanied by a selection of short stories that can run with the best of American
Noir literature. It’s cold out there, folks.” (from Crime Wave Press site)
“I don’t like crime fiction where the protagonist is Superman… bullet wounds through the chest, there really isn’t going to be any blood, just what leaks.” – Tony Knighton
4.7 out of 5 star average. I think readers liked it.
It’s only $0.99 on Amazon until Friday, November 22nd, 2019. Sounds like a great deal!
P.S.: One of the accompanying short stories, “The Gift”, is Christmas-themed, so you can use this as your excuse to buy the book. It’s a present for someone on your list . . . you! After all, you’ve been good this year.
