Rick Striker thinks he's put enough distance between him and his foes. He likes the bar he's temping at and he really likes the young lady he's met in this new town. But trouble has a way of finding him, and the vampires don't care who they eliminate in their quest to find the detective.
It's time for Rick Striker to go home. Time to confront both his fears and his foes. Time to use all of Rick's Rules in order to come out on top.
RICK'S RULES is a 9200 word short story and is the final story of the "trilogy" that began (chronologically) with the events in NIGHT FAMILY and continues in the story DEAD OR ALIVE.
Also contains a sample of NIGHT FAMILY and a brief author's note.
