Bullets, Blades, and High Heels propels the reader into a world of obscure emotions and perilous liaisons, where women are as unflinching as they are razor-sharp, men as unreliable as they are weak-kneed, and where dramatic twists skulk just around the corner.
A young lady prefers her tea dark and strong, but today it tastes much sweeter. A penniless private investigator is hired by a knockout in red, but is he truly aware of what he has to deal with? A dispirited poet whiles away his nights at a solitary drinking den, but tonight he is in for a hell-raising surprise. A stranger’s bet must never be accepted even though it looks like a tantalising, sure-fire win. A woman’s name always hides a lot of secrets. Should you think a visit to the dentist is a dreadful bore, you might be right!
These are a few of the fifteen short pulp fiction stories featured in this collection, which blends suspense, mystery, crime, and action, with a shot of dark humour.
