The case files of Mac Danger-Private DIE, remain open for your review as they keep spillin' out of the metal file cabinet in his office. These are his short stories.In this book containing three-albeit shorter narrative than some of those 100,000-word novels that tend to use many of the same words over and over and are soon forgotten, Mac's carefully chosen ones can waller' around in your head for quite a stretch-like a butterscotch hard candy does in your mouth.In fact, you will discover that this edition-on a cost-per-colorful word basis, to be one of the thriftiest that you'll likely find anywhere. The tales are right up there near the top of the biggest intellectuals' lists of literary literati. I dare you. Try to find that list.Within this compilation, you will read that Mac continues to bring cases to conclusions-while he continues to jump to conclusions. Mac Danger-the up-front, in-your-face gumshoe, confronts the electronic clutter of a modern world-filled with its video conference call users-mocha latte's at their side, with his common sense, two-tin-cans-tied-together-with-a-string methods. And all of it is accomplished with the help of the never-empty-glass of his liquid forebear, Old Grand Dad.He solves his fair share of the unsolved-and he does that old school. The kind of old school with no air conditioning or multi-purpose cafetoriums. He does it by lathering up his own five o'clock-beard-stubble-of-determination with the straight-razor of justice-right before he slaps on some Old Spice, styptic pens, toilet paper and then the cuffs on the apprehended.That's enough. I'm tired. I think it's time you got to reading, my friend.
So, here's a Shpil abou-dis book.Mac Danger is a 1930's-style Private Eye in a modern world. He's a tough talking, no-nonsense kind of discount detective-solving mysteries to make rent, and sometimes having to restrain himself from getting physical with his clients who have-let's call them, issues.Danger Is his middle name-and his last name, too. You can look it up on his birth certificate. Mac Danger Danger. Kids made fun of him in school because of it. During every PTO conference, he wanted to punch his parents in the face.Mac is the kind of guy that every man wants to be-after Tom Brady. And he's the kind of guy that every woman wants to be with-at least in his mind.Contained within this sandwich of newsprint, ink, and glue, are a trilogy-that means three-of Mac Danger's most recent, if not spellbinding, at least thoroughly spellchecked interactions with people who sought out his services. These are their short stories. There are no pictures or pabulum to sugar-coat the truths of what you are about to read. I searched online for some to include with the words, but they were out of stock
Michael Jacobs is a divorced father of two. He is struggling to pay the bills and seek a direction, while he tries to avoid falling into anxiety and depression. He has always had a shoot from the lip and let the words fall where they may attitude. Along with that, his outward rebellious stance against religious norms has always left him on the outside of them. But this time, by biting his tongue and going along with the "program" for financial security, he has found himself in a regrettable workplace and church quid pro quo. His '30 pieces of silver' goes against every principal he has learned as witnessed firsthand as a child and from the writings of his family history-which he discovered preserved in a set of inherited cookbooks. Worse yet, his conundrum threatens to drag his daughters into the same religious conformities against which he has always fought so hard. Julie Douglas, much the opposite, has rarely stood up for herself, choosing to go along with everything to please others and to "fit in." With that approach, her past decisions resulted in painful consequences and a grief that she has buried deep within her.On the eve of the Christmas season, can these two dispirited co-workers overcome troubling conventions of their religion, investigate an unraveling secret plot at work-which will force them to contemplate one of the greatest mysteries of Christianity, and turn their blossoming workplace friendship into a full romance with its prospects of a transformational love?
