High Profile
Perfect for reading on a short commute or as a bed-time treat, these charming short stories by best-selling crime writer Bud Craig are sure to put a smile on your face.
At times delicate and heart-warming, at others, devilish and irreverent, these award-winning short stories recount different lives on the edge of life changes little and small. If there is another connection between them, it is the streak of cheeky humour that runs through them.
Mostly set in Craig’s native city of Salford, with crime themes, HIGH PROFILE also transports us to Memphis Tennessee, as well as imaginary places at the furthest reaches of the universe.

Amusing, experimental, leftfield. Something for everyone in this collection of short stories.

If it wasn't for 2-3 stories, the rating would be even lower. Sorry.
