Description:
Originally published in Hardluck Stories in 2006, One Step Closer won the Derringer Award for short mystery fiction. I've reprinted the entire story here. If you enjoyed One Step Closer, ten more of my short crime stories are published alongside it in my collection Nowhere To Go, available on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004TNHGFG">Amazon</a> and <a href="http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/49268">Smashwords</a>.
