Book Description

"I walked three steps down the stairs. As my foot touched the forth stair, the light over the door went out. Then the indirect light in the well - Squeezing in darkness. As if someone was pulling the circuits in the fuse box, one by one. I slipped my gun from my pocket. 'You down there,' I called hoarsely. 'Answer or I'll shoot!' The only sound was the shrill of the cicadas. He was now on the stairs behind me, breathing in my ears. I turned on the stairs, too late. The blow smashed my head into the wall."

Jim was a nice guy, but he had a habit of blowing off big when he was drunk, telling the world how he would solve its difficulties. It was a habit that led him into trouble...into the tightest spot of his life.
