Will Trent is on his way to an undercover assignment when he stops at a gas station for a drink and accidentally gets mixed up in a robbery. When most of the people involved end up dead and the old lady working in the gas station seems determined to mislead the Police is there more to this than meets the eye? 

This is another short story in the Will Trent series so works as a stand alone story and doesn’t affect the main series in any great way. 

It’s almost a nice little palate cleanser after how intense “Criminal” was. There’s no real stakes in play for the main characters but the case is interesting and Slaughter still manages to get a bit of a twist in, which is pretty impressive for a short story!
