Blasted

by Chris Martin

"The goons began to press in on me. I kind of figured that they were too stupid to know when to leave. I grabbed the bottle of whiskey from the bar and whirled around in my stool, smashing it on Fat Head’s fat head. He crumpled to his knees as Zit Face started to go for his piece. I took the stub of the whiskey bottle that I still had and rammed it into the goon’s gut. He yelled a horrifyingly shrill scream as I raked the bottle across his acne-riddled face, taking strips of skin with it and popping a dozen swollen white pimples. Zit Face hit the floor with a wet thud, but his friend had recovered enough to have another go. He had his .38 in his hand and was raising it to fire at me. I threw the bottle as hard as I could. It sailed across the 20 feet that separated us and imbedded itself in the thug’s puffy forehead. Fat Head was dead and his gun was in my hand before he hit the floor."

Steve Blast is a man with no past. When he meets up with a beauty with ties to organized crime, the two find themselves in the middle of an all-out gang war. As Blast closes in on the truth behind his identity, Adrian Moore, notorious crime leader, closes in on Blast. But the scheming and secrets of a beautiful dame might be them end of them both.
