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."

While dealing with a priceless collection, Vera, Swiver's girl, finds the vineyard owner floating face down in the estate pool. He knows that he is dealing with more than a simple case of murder. Swiver is soon faced with mystery women, double crosses, and hoodlums that could well get them killed. Then there is the mysterious and beautiful Helene Richter...

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.
