Hangman's Dozen

William E. Wallace is serving up bare-knuckle stories in old-school style. Superstitious criminals down on their luck, junkies with trigger fingers, mysterious drifters these are the kind of characters you ll meet in this collection of lurid tales. (Wallace) is a master at building scenes, characters, layering dialogue and description, and filling in back-story with no interruption to the momentum of the story. Greg Barth, author of Selena and Diesel Therapy The best of William E. Wallace s work revolves around the concept of justice. . . I m talking the big, broader cosmic sense. Judgment. Reckoning. Down in the filth and garbage of the street, it s all street justice. Joe Clifford, author of Lamentation and December Boys It is not easy to combine humor, characterization, and persuasive action but here it's done well. These stories will make you a Wallace fan." Patti Abbott, author of Concrete Angel Wallace is quite simply a brilliant writer. Will Viharo author of Love Stories Are Too Violent for Me
