Weed

Green River Crime

by David Bain

Unemployed, and even with child support, his probation officer, his sister, his grandmother and his baby mama nagging him to get a job, heading down to the temp agency still isn't necessarily James' top priority - there are easier ways to make money.


Then James' cousin introduces him to Mickle, a video-game loving Star Trek devotee who seems to have an unending ganja supply. James soon learns that Mickle doesn't seem to keep very good track of his weed inventory. Mickle won't notice if James snags just one brick of skank, will he...? And besides, what could a dorky little dweeb like Mickle do about it anyway?


WEED packs kilos of drug-fueled action, violence and suspense into 15,000 words.

150 pages, Kindle Edition

James, a dead-beat dad, is unemployed and on probation living with his grandmother. Instead of visiting the temp agency, he visits Mickle(A friend of his cousin). Once James finds Mickle's inventory of weed, he makes a decision that will change everything.

David Bain has a true gem in this crime novella set in Green River. His writing style is inviting and crisp and once you start it will be hard to put down. "Weed" has everything a crime story needs; great characters,action,drugs,and guns. The breakout character for me is Mickle. I hated James and found the ending a satisfactory means to an end.

I hope the Mickle chaacter shows up in other works by Mr. Bain. For the price "Weed A Green River Crime Novella" can't be ignored.

I enjoyed this book. The characters were all written well, and were engaging and interesting. Not all authors can get you to understand and like characters, especially in such short a time.

I would love to see more of the characters in this novella.
