From
the massive archive….
Thanks
to his gift, Adam Kingston knew he would get a phone call. Who was calling, why
he would be called, he didn’t know. But, he knew it would be a call about
someone dying somewhere and he would be involved. Hard to sleep when you know
something is going to happen. Hard to sleep when you know for absolute
certainty just enough to be worried.
The
phone call finally comes by way of Sheriff Dillon Corbin of Mendes County,
Florida. Adam is on a master list of Law
Enforcement consultants and the good Sheriff needs his help. Three weeks ago
somebody tried to take out a State Senator.
While they know where the shots came from they knew nothing else and
have no suspects. The shooter is still out there and may try again if he or she
isn’t stopped.
Soon
Adam is in Jacksonville, Florida with Sheriff Dillon working the case. The
target, Senator Willy Thornton, has plenty of enemies because of his politics
and the way he lives his life. Business
rivals, spouses of the women he has seduced and many others have good reason to
want him dead. Good thing Adam has a bit
of ability with extra sensory perception and can pick up a few images along the
way as he helps with the case.
Released
from Untreed Reads last January, this is the short story that ultimately gave
rise to Earl Staggs' powerfully good novel, Memory of a Murder. This cozy style type read is full of twists
and turns and on that will keep you very entertained as it moves through the
pages.

Untreed Reads. Didn't know they were still around. I think they published DISCOUNT NOIR.
They still exist, but under new ownership. I think they are getting out of the anthology/short story market. This read is still available, for now.
Jay Hartman has not been involved with them for some time. His publishing company is MISTI MEDIA. https://www.mistimedia.com/
He has three open anthology calls: https://www.mistimedia.com/
