Bodies in Bags: Stories - Paperback

A bad cop in New Hampshire deals with the consequences of shooting an intruder; a drifter wakes up next to her dead companion in Atlantic City; a veteran flees to South Jersey after an impulsive crime. Jamey Gallagher's stories, steeped in desperation and told in tough but tender voices, are about the effects of-and the compulsion to-violence. Bodies in Bags, with its flex and fever, is so visceral you can smell it.
