Almost a Killer

by Jonathan McCann

Micah Roberts knew he shouldn't have driven that night, but he did anyway. Because he lacked the most basic form of common sense after he’d been drinking. Had he been looking at what was in front of him, even in his inebriated state he would have seen the car stopped on the side of the road. He did see it. But it was a little too late. By the time he turned the wheel, he narrowly missed the abandoned car, but the noise coming from underneath his own car told him he had not avoided everything. Against his better judgment, he stopped to check. It was at this moment that robbery detective Micah Roberts was no longer a law-abiding police officer; he was a cold-blooded murderer.

Faced with the decision of staying or fleeing in this suspenseful crime thriller, Robert’s fate is decided for him when he realizes he wasn’t the only person there that night, there was a witness. A witness who instead of turning him in, decides instead to blackmail him.

Left with only one choice, Roberts is forced to do the unthinkable; become one of the people he has dedicated his career to putting behind bars. Using the skills he’s learned as a cop, he must stay one step ahead of the law he’s sworn to uphold while trying to stop his blackmailer from ruining his life, and somehow find a way to turn the tables and put the real criminal behind bars. Whoever that may be…
