    About this ebook

    When a stranger walks into the neighborhood bar, The Fine Kettle O'Fish, Finn and the others aren't sure what to think of him--at first.

    Soon, it's apparent that Malcolm, the new guy, is bothering everyone's favorite striptease artist, Violet, who has had a rough time climbing out of the gutter. Something is lurking in Mal's past, and something has to be done. A short story.
