    A Padlock For Charlie Draper

    Written by James Holding

    Narrated by Digital Voice Mike G

    About this audiobook

    This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

    When Charlie Draper's small-town grocery store gets held up, he surprisingly locks the robber inside instead of calling the police. Using just a padlock and an empty shotgun, Charlie cleverly negotiates with the thief over the phone. His poker buddies think Charlie took the hard way out, but he has a trick up his sleeve. Through some slick maneuvering, he aims to claim the full $5,000 bounty on the robber's head for himself. Will his risky plan pay off, or will Charlie's unconventional approach backfire?
