The Day I (Almost) Killed Two Gretzkys

Praise for James Duthie's The Day I (Almost) Killed Two Gretzkys: " I was lucky to survive the day Duthie played in my golf tournament. Little did I know he'd turn the experience into one of the best books on sports that I've read in a long time." - Wayne Gretzky "Tragedy is easy. Comedy is hard. Sports comedy is even harder, but James Duthie, who we now know is as comfortable in front of a keyboard as he is a camera, treads whimsically through a sports landscape that certainly needs a smile. His is a biting wit, guaranteed to leave teeth marks." - Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated " If you like James Duthie on TSN, you're in for a treat. He's just as clever and witty in print. James is sim...

Come A Little Closer

I’ve lived beyond death more times than I can count. From the streets, to owning a club in New Orleans, to hustling drugs for the Chicago mafia, to this… The hottest nightclub with the darkest of sins in New York City. And my enemies are moving in. I can almost sense their shadows slipping closer. It’s no time for resting on my heels or falling in love. Besides, I gave that madness up years ago. This pretty little dancer has my eye though, and the woman is persistent if nothing else. She’s a single mom, so maybe that’s part of her tough-girl act. And she should be. We go way back to a time when I wasn’t so broken by the life I’ve chosen. She’s got no clue of the danger she’s trying to bed. She just remembers the good parts. Lucky for her, I still got all of those. But she should beware. Because if I like her the way I remember liking her, I’m not willing to ever let it go.
