Stray Bullets: Short, Sharp Crime Fiction

By Paul D. Brazill

Stray Bullets is a scattershot of short stories and flash fiction from ‘The King Of Brit Grit’ Paul D. Brazill.

In this short, sharp collection, you will stumble into hit men, gangsters, corrupt cops, drunks, punks, petty thieves, and all manner of lowlife criminals. The stories in Stray Bullets are vivid and violent slices of Brit Grit and noir, full of gaudy characters and dialogue sharp enough to cut your throat.

Stray Bullets is a violent and blackly comic look at life seen through a dirty shot glass darkly.
