Praise for this book
The setting is a city destroyed economically by lockdowns and villains who were more then willing to take advantage of the situation. The action is tense without being over the top, the dialog is realistic and fun. The story sets up a world that I want to read more about The main character Briggs is also really likable. A great short story!
