Wrong Place Right Time: When Trouble Finds You Collection, #2

By Jinx James

It's a tough life on the mean streets of L.A. for teenager Mik and his Greek-born mother, but he has a dream and he's on his way to realising it. His luck changes the day he walks into a crime scene. He's grabbed as a hostage, along with another passer-by, a young Mexican woman. He's seen it a million times before, but when it happens to him it's as scary as hell. In the ensuing police shoot-out Mik wonders if he'll come out of this alive. In an extreme test of his will to live, has Mik got the right stuff?  In the end, there are three bodies. Will his be one of them?

The When Trouble Finds You Collection depicts different lives with one thing in common ­– a moment of crisis. It's a gripping collection of short stories about moments of crisis, past and present, that change lives forever. Read each compelling story in a single sitting.

Jinx James

Crime fiction author Jinx James was born in the UK, and lives in Australia. He has worked in music, advertising, and TV comedy. He has always been fascinated by charisma, satire, and what makes people laugh. That’s his usual way of looking at the world, but he is also intrigued by how his characters react when confronted by a terrifying dilemma, or a moment of confrontation. As he always says, it’s the characters that write the stories. They insist that their voices are heard. Today Jinx lives in a wine-growing area in regional Australia with his wife and two dogs. As Kit James, he also writes a humorous dog book series, Mutt to Megastar, starring Elliott, a wisecracking dog.
