Bryan Cassiday’s new collection of crime fiction Crime Blotter USA will be released later this year on Kindle.
A woman wakes up in a pitch-black coffin hearing rats scampering on the lid. When she tries to scream, she realizes she is paralyzed and suffocating in “Scream, Cecelia, Scream.”
A Hollywood hooker is assaulted by a corrupt cop. Who can she turn to for help when even the police don’t want to investigate her accusation in “The Strip”?
An architect’s bank closes his account because he is deceased in “Account Closed.”
These are just a few of the brutal crime stories set in Los Angeles, where the streets are hard, the sun is merciless, the atmosphere is bleak noir, and violent death is only a heartbeat away. Where the only sin is not fighting for survival–no matter what the cost and who must die.
