It isn’t the fact that Dr. Luke Vico drives a BMW
worth more than 100 grand that makes him a scumbag. For ex-detective Beltran it
is Vico’s public behavior this particular evening as well as what he did to
Angela Landau. Vico got away with murder and nothing was right ever again.
Maybe Beltran can now figure out a way to fix things.
There is quite a lot going on in this complex short story.
Nominated for the 2014 Anthony Award for Best Short Story this material is currently
free at the Untreed Reads Store. Dead End is very good. Clearly, Craig Faustus Buck is an
author to keep an eye on.

I downloaded the freebie and read it this afternoon. Not bad, but you're more enthusiastic about it than I. Perfectly fits the definition of noir, though.
That it does.
I am more enthusiastic than you on most things. It is the price you pay for your age, living way up north where the cold is about to set in, and being an Eagles fan.
Ah, misguided youth! So much yet to learn.
That Texas climate has clearly addled your brain, what with its intense heat, periods of heavy rain, damaging winds, and dreaded tornadoes.
Being an Eagles fan is easy if you don't take them too seriously, and I haven't for quite a few years now.
As for aging, being too rabid a Cowboys fan is likely to accelerate yours, leaving you a dry, withered husk of your former vital self.
