Review & Description
Five stories of crime, criminals, and people who refuse to remain victims.
In "Missy and the Man," a little girl gets more than she bargained for when she decides to sneak into her neighbor's garage to see his new kittens. The baseball-loving pickpocket in "Strike Two" has a sweet gig working The Strip in Las Vegas until the night he lifts a wallet from a woman who's nobody's victim. "Thief" marks the first appearance of private detective Abby Maxon featured in the novel PRETTY LITTLE HORSES. When college-student Abby's purse is stolen, no one except Abby and her new boyfriend Ryan seem to care. Two kids with too much time on their hands plan to set fire to an empty house in "Firebug," only the game doesn't go exactly as planned. And in "For A Few Lattes More," a Starbucks barista comes face to face with a movie-hero cowboy only to discover that in real life, heroes aren't always around when you need them.
