Plan B, Volume III

by Darusha Wehm (Editor), Gary Cahill (Contributor), Ian Creasey (Contributor)

Desperation is the same in any language. Madness respects no borders. Greed and revenge transcend cultural differences.


In this third collection of stories from Plan B Magazine, we find tales from all the corners of the crime world. From Cold War espionage to small town stick-ups, high-powered diplomacy to the opportunism of poverty, these are stories of the darkness of the human heart. And once in a while, how the light of our common humanity can transcend that darkness.
