Originally published in THRILLER (2006),edited by #1 New York Times bestselling author James Patterson.

In this clever Thriller Short, New York Times bestselling writer James Siegel channels Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler in a wondrously dark tale about a nameless hero.

“Anger is what cost me my home, and anger is what put me into court-ordered therapy, and anger is what finally kicked me off the LAPD and into hotel security, where I can be angry without killing anyone.”

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work out that way.
