Scoundrels, Schemers, and Some Special People: A Short Story Collection

By Thomas P. Hanna

In these 14 unrelated stories a cast of good guys and gals and a parade of con men and women give and take in their routine lives. The stories are about ordinary enough people each of whom is though a schemer to a degree, at least in domestic matters. A few are nasty and true scoundrels on top of that. The characters include: a pair of con men peddling an idea for a new building material who succeed too well for their own safety; two different characters who get unusual phone calls from a protector or supporter; a non-suicidal elderly man who lets it be known how he can be dead as a relative intended if the price is right; and an artist who learns that original paintings are in the eye and wallet of the beholders. All capped off by a clarification from someone who was there about what really happened that momentous day in the Garden at Eden.
