Rock and a Hard Place, Issue 14: Summer 2025

By Libby Cudmore, Christine Blackwicks, Jason Allison

One way or another, the ocean claims its own.

There are worse things than cancer.

Yeah, Maybe don't rob that bank during hunting season.

Some scammers are born with it.

Would you know all this without Rock and a Hard Place? Maybe, but why take the chance? Issue 14 brings a new batch of noir the way only RHP can: by dropping you in the shark-infested deep end. Hope you brought a life jacket.
