(Subtly linked by the background narrative of a murderer's...)
Subtly linked by the background narrative of a murderer's arrest in Vancouver, the stories in this collection inhabit a dark, urban landscape as they journey into the realm of desperate relationships, of power and impulse, emotional wagers and negotiations.
