  • Lead With Your Left
    Ed Lacy
    It was a few minutes before eleven when I unlocked our door. The dumb lamp we had in the two-by-four 'foyer' was on. The lamp looked like a drippy flower and cost fifty-seven bucks strictly because it was imported from Denmark. If all their lamps are like this job they must be blind over there. I could just about make out the couch opened as a bed, was surprised Mary was in the...

  • Blonde Bait
    Ed Lacy
    'The place seemed to be filling up with uniformed cops. I felt trapped. I shrugged and headed for the door. Suddenly I wasn’t as much angry as plain tired.

    Ed Lacy
    I sat there, waiting in this dull Bronx back yard, the gun in my right pocket, safety off.
