They called him Goon. Not the Goon. Just Goon, as if it was his name, which it sort of was …
Those opening sentences kick off The Goon and the Glass Swan, my latest book. If you’re looking for a light beach read over the weekend … well, this probably isn’t it. But if you’re looking for provocative tales of crime, lost loves, and heroic choices that will hopefully stick with you long after you finish them, this collection might be more up your alley.
More information about the book, as well as links to retailers, is below. As always, thanks for reading!
The Goon and the Glass Swan
by Scott William Carter
During a mafia hit with his sharpshooting partner, a thug named Goon finds a little girl hiding in a closet. Until now, Goon has been content playing the part of the dumb sidekick, but how far will he go when the little girl’s life is on the line?
This riveting tale of redemption and sacrifice kicks off Carter’s latest collection, six stories of crime, revenge, lost loves, and heroic choices. Whether the tale involves a down-and-out screenwriter looking for a fresh start as a journalist working the crime beat in his hometown, a grieving widower meeting an assassin-for-hire on an urban park bench, or a mysterious payphone at a rural gas station that might not quite be of this world . . . each of these powerful stories leaves its own indelible mark on the reader’s imagination.
