With more than 23 novels published, Gregory Payette is known for fun, gritty crime fiction and mysteries.
Alongside his books, he is an accomplished artist, painting scenes that tell a story. His creative projects live at PayetteStories.com.
He grew up in a mostly blue-collar New England town, and before turning to fiction full-time, worked a variety of jobs—from slinging a hammer to his work in fundraising.
Dennis Malloy is so down on his luck, that when he goes to rob a store, he finds it already being robbed. Not too far down, because when the robber gets shot running out, the bag of money ends up by Malone. Enough to pay off his bar bill and by a beautiful woman a drink that sits down next to him. His luck isn't good enough to keep him from getting mugged in the bathroom and his money stolen. There are no good guys in this one, but no really bad guys either.
Sorry, but this was a little disappointing. Characters did not gel, weird behaviour and an unlikely plot. I kept reading, hoping for change, but it never came. Two losers meet three losers in an unlikely tale.
