Stranger with a Black Case
A Novel of Suspense
YA supernatural Fiction
1996—Paradise Trailer Park, Gaskille, Florida
Callous and Tyrant, drifted along the train tracks near Paradise Trailer Park. Invisible to the teenager, Vinnie Vinetti, they followed his big sneakers over the gravelly cross-ties that lay beneath the rusty rails. You might say Vinnie inherited the twin demons. They’d followed members of his family for at least six generations. Callous gave Vinnie a shove and snickered when the kid tripped over a cross-tie. The demon flicked out his tongue and licked his beady, golden eyeballs in anticipation of this new assignment.
2019—The Train Station, Gaskille, Florida
Tony pushed a broom along the wall outside the train station. His heart sat like a chunk of iron in his chest. His dad—Vinnie Vinetti—afraid of someone? Vinnie was top dog. He was never afraid of anything or anyone. Till now.
Would someone really try to kill him?
Then the pieces fell into place.
Hit-men carry violin cases—with guns. That paper he keeps studying is a hit list. Maybe this guy is coming after someone. Maybe this guy is coming after… Dad!
Skillfully written suspense. I couldn’t put this book down.
