Reviews
Excellent story - bit of a sad ending
mikezane
A cracksman finds a reason to go on the straight and narrow. He teaches a certain bad guy a good lesson. The reason he does so is unexpected. The story is excellent. I am going back and downloading the other two in the series. The reader did an excellent job, and the recording quality was great. Thank you Cathy. :-)

Action tale built around the romantic ideals of the generations that were to be crucified in the slaughterhouse of WW1.
