    About this ebook

    Ten complete short stories to read anywhere. Sci fi, romance, mystery and humour. Somethin's wrong, terrible wrong at the farm in 'Fine Weather'. An unexpected encounter at 40,000 feet in 'Night Flight'. A new use for ATMs in 'Dr Kemp's Card', and a man fights for his life in 'Runaway'. This collection includes a complete Mercedes Drew mystery in 'A Party for Mike' and another tale from the Vertigo Labs in 'Double Trouble'. Ten stories that are just the right length to read in your coffee break, in bed, or in the bath. The quiz team from the Poacher's Inn hold another rambling conversation in 'Reflections' and Harry finds a mysterious object in a scrapyard in 'Press to Reset'. All this and more in this eighth volume of short stories in the Barnaby's Shorts series.
