Structural Damages

by Tom Meitner

A couple was enjoying the American Dream: a brand-new custom-built house built by a friend, theirs forever. Until they found a nightmare behind one of the walls. Charlie and Sarah have to untangle who would have committed such a bizarre crime - leading to the discovery of the worst the city has to offer.

Meanwhile, Charlie is butting heads with politician Bobby Walsh... and he thinks Bobby knows way more about Pete's death than he appears to. In this clean crime thriller, Charlie tangles with society's underbelly.

This is the fifth episode in the first season of Hardwick: the vigilante series about a detective released from prison for a murder he didn't commit, and his efforts to solve the 16-year old case that put him behind bars.

About the author

Tom Meitner (me) is a father and husband who lives in Wisconsin.

They say if you want a job done right, you have to do it yourself. A lot of fiction today doesn't speak to me - they're well written and have plenty of fans, so other authors are certainly doing it right. But me? I want something simple. I want something I can consume on my schedule. I want to be able to commit to a story, but have a clear point to break off when I have to get back to my real life.

So that's how I write.

My nonfiction books - based entirely on my experiences making stupid mistakes throughout my life - can all be read in under 2 hours apiece. My fiction books - including my current series, "Hardwick" - are arranged like episodes of an ongoing television show.

You can commit to the full series and keep on reading, or you can find a spot to take a break. It's reading on your schedule, with stories that move forward. I write the stories I would want to read. I hope you want to read them, too.

Sad that I only have one episode left to read! Hope there is more to come!
