About this ebook
The Fixer is a lot of things to a lot of people - monster, saint, judge, executioner. Those who deal with him rarely enjoy the process - but you can always get what you want with him... even if it turns out you don't want it.
A (very) short story about the perils of dealing with the Fixer; a free introduction into the writings of N. Green
