Paula Gail Benson's "Crossfire in the Crosshairs"

Assassins who are paid well, blackmailed, or are repaying debts as they hunt face more challenges than anticipated. The worst crime is growing attached to their target or sympathizing with their cause. Each assassin’s journey is entirely unique in these eleven dark tales.

Featuring stories from Victoria Azzi, L.N. Hunter, Charles Kyffhausen, Barend Nieuwstraten III, Fulvio Gatti, Edgar Mahaffey, Gray Stanback, Jennifer Strassel, Douglas Allen Gohl, Paula Gail Benson, and Frank Sawielijew.

WWK’s Paula Gail Benson’s short story “Crossfire in the Crosshairs” is featured in Dragon Soul Press’s new anthology A Death in the Night, which releases today. It’s a noir compilation of eleven tales.

Paula’s main character answers to the name of Mommie, can be labeled a killer (Hessian bloodlines), and thinks her assignment smells funny. Her boss asks more personal questions about her ex and her daughter than she’d like. The mark’s death will line his nearest and dearest pockets, but that’s not a deterrent. Set during the pandemic, she uses her mask as part of her disguise. She’s been warned she’s isn’t the only assassin on the job. Surprises are anathema in her profession. Too bad she receives so many.

A Death in the Night can be ordered on Amazon. The Kindle version is $1.99, paperback $19.99.

Congratulations Paula!
