A Bloody Business
History meets comedy meets hitman Martin Williams often finds himself in deadly historical events, with a good chance his mark will die without any intervention. But professionals don’t leave things to chance, and Martin is a motivated worker for his paymasters, the Firm. Follow Martin’s lethal career across four decades, three continents, and thousands of cigarettes. Along the way, Martin will find himself on a sinking RMS Titanic, crawling through mud in the middle of the Great War, holding the sold stocks that trigger the Great Depression, embroiled in a home-grown Communist workers’ revolution, and relaxing on a peaceful Pacific atoll the day after Pearl Harbor, to cover half the adventures within. But as time progresses, the world descends into the Cold War, and Martin finds himself increasingly in the crosshairs of equally skilled practitioners for rival organizations. Tiring of espionage, he begins to eye retirement. But will the Firm allow their prized employee to fade into obscurity? Or will they send Martin to join his previous assignments in the ground?
The Opening Salvo
The chain-smoking private eye of noir is teleported to the 2020s. Some men want to take over the world. Others want to watch it burn. But those men aren’t Dick Winchester. No, his goal is much simpler: to take his underground food delivery service into the mainstream and overthrow the app-based fat cats dominating Arlington, Virginia. By force, if necessary. Follow Dick as he fights to make a name for himself in the digital age of convenience. And watch as he manages to make an enemy out of just about everyone, from local bar owners to the military-industrial complex. Fortunately for Dick, he never goes anywhere without his oldest and closest friend: his trusty Smith & Wesson revolver. Will Dick succeed? How many empty whiskey bottles will be left in his wake? And will he and his poetry collection ever unseat Maya Angelou as the greatest American poet?
