Cocktails of Crime - Drinks to Die ForThe cocktail and the short story are natural bedfellows. Short and sweet (or sour), each in its own way is designed to transport those who indulge in them to a place where imagination is offered free flight. It is the duty of their makers to facilitate that journey. Cocktails of Crime, a trilogy, seeks to do just that. Here, in Drinks To Die For - the first book in the series - time settings for the cocktail tales range from the 1850s to 2010, while the action takes place, variously, in America, England, Japan, Poland and Southeast Asia. Sparked by the irrationality of the moment, stimuli for the crimes range from vengeance to pursuit of noble cause. Although unrelated (each of the six tales which form the content of this book is a story in its own right), they all share a common theme - the intractability of the human flaw.
