Short description

Amos, the enforcer, wanted out. After twenty-nine years of following orders, he knew his time was limited. He had served his masters well, but age and sloppiness made him expendable. But how to exit gracefully? “Unlike the living, the dead tell no tales.” That was their motto. The way they did business. Was he smart enough to find away around this modus operandi? Or was he fish food?

But how to exit gracefully – and alive!
“Unlike the living, the dead tell no tales.” That was their motto. The way they did business.
Was he smart enough to find away around this long established modus operandi?
Or was he soon to be home for the worms?

Review by: Booksworm on Aug. 25, 2011 :
High pace bloody short story-not for young reader or delicate mind. Mafia business down to the basics ; ugly, dirty and brutal.

Review by: Nora Lee on Aug. 19, 2011 :
This short story is full of action, but was hard to follow at times. Character development was good considering the length, but the storyline is contrived and story continuity was erratic. It's a decent read but nothing great. At this time I don't believe I will try other short by the author.

"Free To Die" centers around Amos who has been a mafia hit-man/enforcer for 29 years, he knows it's only a matter of time before he becomes a liability. He wants out and he wants to live to tell about it, problem is you can't just walk away from the mob. Even though Amos did some pretty brutal things, I found myself going back and forth between liking him and not liking him. This was a complex story due to the fact that the various characters, including a superstitious bounty hunter, all had their own agendas, with a common goal of staying alive. To sum it up, "Free To Die" was an action packed, page turner!
