Astrid Cruz's short story, "At the Corner of Mars and Neptune," centers around street-smart Lena, witness to a murder, and Noah, the police detective in charge of investigating the crime. These star-crossed souls are about to learn that the street always claims its own, and that sometimes escape is simply not in the cards.
The story echoes the style set forth in Cruz's Caregiver series: fast-paced, sharp-tongued prose that cuts like a knife. It's a pulpy, neo-noir tale told through the eyes of a somewhat unreliable--and entirely heartbreaking--narrator. Any fan of crime and noir fiction will enjoy this fresh approach.
