Overview

The road to crime begins with a single decision-the wrong one. Not every decision belongs to the criminally minded. Some belong to the ill-informed, the weak and the plain unlucky. In these tales, trouble isn't an indiscriminate force of nature. It's a manmade occurrence that comes when called upon. In Making Ends Meet, Richard is so tired of supporting his deadbeat in-laws that he decides he's going to cut them out of his life-for good. Jamie Lassen is just Protecting The Innocent when he tells Chris Forbes to stop dating his sister. A Fender Bender with a drug dealer's car puts Todd in hock with the mob and a kingpin makes Todd responsible for a much larger debt. The Taskmasters picked Matt out just at the right time. Tired of his dead-end life, he was looking for someone to help him turn his life around.These tales and others prove that ASKING FOR TROUBLE is a case of good intentions gone bad and bad intentions gone worse.Praise for Simon Wood:"He writes like a dark demented angel."- Ken Bruen, author of PRIEST"Simon Wood packs his books with suspense, surprises & superb storytelling." - Ed Gorman, author of SLEEPING DOGS"Wood's ability to spin the commonplace into the quirky and then into the deadly puts me in mind of Roald Dahl's gift for the same." - The Drowning Machine"Simon Wood offers a literary roller coaster ride that thrills and terrifies on every page."- Sean Chercover, author of TRIGGER CITY"When Simon Wood is at the wheel, hang on for a page turner."-Chris Grabenstein, author of HELL HOLE "A supremely gifted writer." - Jason Pinter, author of THE MARK"Simon Wood is the 'Gary Oldman' of mystery fiction."-Tony Broadbent, author of THE SMOKE
