Prepare for edge-of-your-seat suspense in this Thriller Short.

Originally published in THRILLER 2 (2009),edited by #1 New York Times bestselling author Clive Cussler.

In this Thriller Short, bestselling author Joe Hartlaub shows that even among the unsavory characters of crime there is wrong and there is wrong. C.T. is not happy. His son Andy has borrowed money from a whack-job loan shark named Kozee. And if that’s not bad enough, Andy had to borrow the money because he loaned three hundred dollars to his small-time, drug-dealing friend Jeff, who couldn’t pay it back because a user named Rakkim stiffed him. C.T. understands his son wanted to take care of the problem himself, but he should have come to him first. He’s been taking care of things on the north and east sides of Columbus, Ohio, for a long time. It was Jeff’s problem. Then it was Andy’s. Now it’s C.T.’s to take care of…his way.
