[Near To The Knuckle 01] • Bad Luck City

Sim Palmer is bored and unfulfilled in his job. Journalism for a small weekly in Las Vegas turned out to be a lot less exciting than he’d expected. A phone call out of the blue changes all that and he finds himself battling against the odds for his life and discovering things about his family history that are best left buried.

Matt Phillips brings you an exciting and fast paced novella. The first in a series of Knuckle Cracking Novellas brought to you by Near to the Knuckle.

Praise for Matt Phillips :

"Matt Phillips speaks fluently the language of the dispossessed... His whiskey-soaked prose can at times be as slick as a man slinging snake-oil, and other times as brutal as a baseball bat to the head." – Eryk Pruitt, author of Hashtag and Dirtbags.

"Phillips' writing is so multi-layered and deep... [A]n author to watch out for..." – Regular Guy Reading Noir

"[Phillips] paints sharp, cutting scenes... He peppers the action with tight quips, imagining a very true world through a very discerning set of eyes." – Tim Learn, author of the Chewy-Noh series
