A good short modern noir story of a man who lost everything but the bottle, Mexico and a murder. Or 2 murders. Or none.

A slow start at first it builds up quick and then jumps around a bit as the main character John's mind unravels pulling together various parts of his memory trying to piece together what happened.

I won't say anymore as it may give it away but I recommend giving this story a try.
