    About this ebook

    "I am old but my debt remains unpaid," says the narrator of this story, an elderly former agent of the communist Polish government gone by. In the face of a threat he perceives against innocents in the mall where he works, has the old man missed his last chance to atone for his past sins?

    Author

    Christa Miller

    Too goody-two-shoes for the rebels and too rebellious for the good girls and boys, Christa Miller writes fiction which, like herself and her readers, doesn't quite fit in. Her cross-genre, less-than-novel-length stories feature characters who whose very existence tends to threaten others’ status quo... but not to the extent that they can't overcome.

      The Devil You Know

      Jul 10, 2021
