Previously published in Enough Rope as well as “one
of the Flesh & Blood anthologies edited by Jeff Gelb and Max Allan
Collins” (a note from the author) the story has been re-released as an
individual short story. The subtitle is “A Nasty Little Story” and it is certainly
is on several levels. This adult tale is definitely for adult readers and is
very good.
Jimmy is having an intense affair with a married
woman. She does things to him that gives him incredible pleasure – especially
when Rita uses her sweet little hands. She wants her husband, George, dead and
has convinced Jimmy to do the deal.
Somebody will soon die in this very twisted tale of
sex, lust, and murder. What author Lawrence Block does with a classic set up
very familiar to readers becomes an intense read that will surprise you in very
unexpected ways. Sweet Little Hands is a fast moving short story definitely
worth your time as it spins a dark tale.
