A quarter-million a year, no strings, seems like a great way to live. Except when people come along who think they can do a better job spending it.
Carlo loves his life. His best friend, Buddy Wu, knows all the hotspots. Gambling, drinking, drugs, girls, and every other kind of way to live well. Buddy even introduces him to Lise Sand, the woman of his dreams.
But when someone within this close circle turns up dead, Carlo’s world spins off its axis. Now he, and he alone, must find a way to set everything right. Even if it costs him everything he believes in.
Even if it costs him everything he has.
Evan Cobb, author of Perfect Likeness, Bad People, Exhibit A, and other crime and suspense novels, is the alter ego of Michael Canfield. Under his own name he writes about monsters, superheroes, couples, babies, astronauts, paranoids, obsessives, and other people. He has published mystery, fantasy, science fiction, horror and just-plain-odd stories on fiction sites including StrangeHorizons, Spinetingler, EscapePod, Daily Science Fiction, in dead-tree magazines including Realms of Fantasy, Talebones, and Black Gate, and other places. “Super-Villains” was also republished in the prestigious Fantasy: The Year's Best series, edited by Rich Horton (Prime Books). He divides his time between Seattle and Los Angeles, with frequent side-trips to Vegas.
