KRAJ THE ENFORCER: STORIES by Rusty Barnes
First sentence…
The cashier at the 7-11 on Water Street leaves to take a leak.
The Overview: Beware of Spoilers…
Kraj is an expatriate Croat. He makes his living as a bouncer and occasional enforcer for his boss Tricky Ricky Gutierrez. It’s a job Kraj was built for. Tricky Ricky sees potential in Kraj. That makes Mikael, nervous. Mikael manages the strip club that serves as the front for Tricky Ricky’s various “businesses”. Kraj continues to prove his worth and gain more trust from Ricky. With the trust comes more responsibility. Kraj is making the right moves. Now that Kraj’s new girlfriend has been promoted to manager at the McDonald’s things are looking up. Of course the higher up, the farther the fall.
Rusty Barnes presents 14 Kraj The Enforcer short stories. Each story is a complete tale. Read together they form a bigger yarn. Kraj isn’t your typical anti-hero. While he has some of the characteristics you’d expect, his supporting characters ground him in a reality you’d get visiting most small Appalachian towns. Plus his origin is unique and makes him standout in his new adopted country. I enjoyed KRAJ THE ENFORCER: STORIES. I hope we see more.
