In this enticing Thriller Short, bestselling author Lawrence Light shows that dead isn’t always dead. Brad Action has been dead a year. Gunned down on the doorstep of his palatial house in Haddonfield, New Jersey, by hired killer Joe Dogan. With Brad out of the way, high-level county official Robert Stagg has things going his way. Or so he thinks. Only dead isn’t dead…not when it’s Brad. He promised to clean up the drug-ridden, gang-run inner-city, and he always keeps a promise.
