HAIL, TIGER

Cindy Rosmus, the Main Editor of the classiest 'ezine on the web 'Yellow Mama' and author of 'Death Takes a Snow Day', rolls out a new collection of short stories that are sure to knock some sense into your noir and crime fiction fetish. 

Author Gary Clifton sums it all up:

"True Grit here, in spades. Cindy Rosmus, the master of the turn of phrase, in her distinctive, razor edged New Jersey voice, has put together a treasure trove of eclectic, hard-hitting tales of crime, violence, and street level dysfunction, which kicks ass from the first line to the last. Her collection in many ways is delightfully different, but the central, hard fisted theme, heavy on tough chicks who devour sorry men – often literally – is a good, entertaining page-turner with a new thrill at every corner, and there are plenty of corners to negotiate. If you want sex, hard luck, dumb luck, bad luck, or no luck at all, read this collection of tough edged, streetwise yarns like a strawberry soda: let each sip go down smoothly, then look forward to the next. Fashion normally dictates I should probably pick a favorite, but the selection would be a multi-story draw, as all are excellent. An outstanding chunk of reality, worth five stars in any league."

1868

The United States is well into the post-Civil War reconstruction period with murderous feelings and general turmoil remaining evident in all areas of a war-weary country.

Union army veteran, and now, newspaperman, Thomas Ashmore arrives by paddle boat at Shawneetown on the banks of the Ohio River to accomplish a mission long left over from the Civil War. His mission from President Andrew Johnson is simple: locate a lost shipment of Union gold that was stolen by Confederate guerrillas in the final years of the war and return it to the United States government. But, he is not alone in this mission. Jackson McCann, a Confederate army survivor has also arrived in the area. His orders having come from former Confederate vice-president,  Alexander H. Stephens who wishes to get the gold in hopes that the South will rise again from the ashes of a ruined Southern army. Within the opium and alcohol soaked region of 'Little Egypt', the two men find themselves at odds, not only with each other, but with an unknown people who are also searching for the lost shipment of gold.
