This book has 3 short stories in it.  The short stories are very short but that does not take away from the plot or characters of the book.  The stories were very interesting.The first story 'Up a Rung' is about a mob crime boss that is looking for the snitch in the group of thugs.  Will the thug be found out or will a different thug take the place of the real thug?The second story 'Possession' is about a female that has lost a child and then loses almost everything.  She believe's there is someone living in her house.  Is she correct or just so depressed over the lose of her child that she cannot think straight?The third story 'Special Delivery' is about a postman who is looking to start a life of crime and interested in pinning the crime on the current people that is going around robbing people's houses.  Will the postman 'Handley' get away with this crime or will he be caught?I will not post any spoilers but all three short stories were well written with developed characters.  This was a very quick read, but nothing was missing from the plot.  The author has a wonderful book.  I look forward to reading additional books by Matthew Iden.
