Secrets
A chapbook.
From J. F. Gonzalez, author of Fetish, Survivor, and The Beloved, comes a locked-room tale of deceit, perversity, and murder.
Just before Christmas, a blizzard strands five friends at the local watering hole. They plan on an uneventful night enjoying each others' company as they wait out the storm.
Everything changes when the stranger arrives. He knows each of their darkest secrets - secrets that he shouldn't know, secrets that he threatens to reveal. Trapped in the bar, friends turn against each other as tensions increase, as distrust and paranoia fester.
And then they find the dead girl in the bathroom...
Michelle isn't afraid of hard work. She's a dedicated employee, the kind any manager would want for his firm. But this Corporation requires much more than just dedication...
