The best bodyguard is the one who never wanted the job.
Eight stories. One unmistakable signature: quiet people doing hard things for the people they love.
A bodyguard who has spent his life protecting other men's families has to decide, at last, what he owes his own. A detective works an accident scene for the one detail everyone else missed. A signal that should have gone dark decades ago pulls two strangers into the same reckoning. A debt outlives the man who owed it. A collection that was never really about the objects at all.
THE BODY GUARDS AND OTHER STORIES gathers a world of hard men and harder choices - action, quiet detective work, and the long shadow of loyalty and inheritance. Eight stand-alone stories, one shared sensibility: the cost of doing right by the people who depend on you.
Keep swinging.
