Here, finally, is "Let Us Prey," the third installment of my short noir story, "Sidewalk Tiger." (You can find part 1 here, and part 2 here.) Hope it was worth the wait. I'd love to hear what you think, if you're so inclined.But while you're over at the CityPaper.net site, be sure to check out this week's cover story, "85 Shots," by staff writers Doron Taussig and Tom Namako. Granted, I'm biased, but I think this is one of the best crime stories we've ever run. The boys hit this one right out of the park. And it's nice to have a cover like this in a week when Kate Couric and CBS News was all up in our jock, calling us a "City Under Siege." (You know what? Maybe they're right.) If you're a crime fiction fan, this story is required reading.
Dude, Tassig and Namako are fantastic writers. You keep an iron fist of dominance on them to keep them playing for Team Swierczy.
ReplyDeleteCrap. Now they'll want raises.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap. That is some seriously gripping writing in that article. That stuff's worth a raise. You guys are a talented bunch of scribes.
ReplyDeleteDuane, I also meant to comment on the serial: Great atmospherics. And I didn't see that ending coming. Nicely done.
