Experience a heart-pumping and thrilling tale of suspense!

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

In this Thriller Short, New York Times bestselling author F. Paul Wilson places his urban mercenary, Repairman Jack, in an almost impossible situation. Repairman Jack just wants to be left alone, but that’s difficult to do when a robber is poking a .357 revolver in your face at the local drugstore. Things only get worse when three more stoned gunmen join the fray and threaten a crowd of customers. Not a big fan of heroics, Jack rises to the occasion. But being the hero is hard when you like to avoid closed-circuit cameras and the only weapons at your disposal come from the shopping aisles. With everyone locked inside the store, the situation demands quick reflexes and a ton of ingenuity. But if Jack doesn’t act quickly, his anonymity will end at the morgue.

I've been reading Wilson for 25 years and he never disappoints. Every story, be it novel of short story, is delicious. He is, bar none, the best author of our time.

This was most likely a story written in haste. Some suspense and action though not much thought. Not his best short story.
