People who grow up here have a love-hate relationship with this city. It's a town that you keep going back to like the cheap slut you love even though you know she's going to cheat on you again. It's a town that can build you up, but it's real talent is taking you down. The authors of Stories for a Dead Night in Spokane know this. These are stories of love betrayed, of crime rewarded, of strange people who have found their homes here, who belong here, whose cries are committed here. Welcome to Stories for a Dead Night in Spokane.

Spokane is Still Deader Than Dead
You want to love your home town. It's natural, like loving your parents even if they beat you from time to time. Towns, like people, prefer to pretend, to tell the neighbors there's nothing wrong and that the odor coming from the basement is just a problem with the sewer and please don't come over with your shovel looking for the source of the problem. The authors of Spokane is Still Deader Than Dead don't try to put on a sunny face. Try it and see if the mood fits!

"Spokane as the setting for a collection of murder mysteries...intriguing and delightfully perverse."
Spokane Examiner
