Introduction
Possessed outhouses. Hookers à la
carte. Muggers offering the deal of the century.
Revenge all the sweeter for being postponed. And a
host of unsavory characters unlike any you've met
before. Listen in on twelve violent and funny
episodes from the deeply odd dark side of our
global village, and give thanks it was Joe who was
there, and not you....
Joseph Wallace is author of such nonfiction books
as The Autobiography of
Baseball and A Gathering of
Wonders: Behind the Scenes at the American
Museum of Natural History. He has also recently
completed The Scorpion's Tail, a thriller set in
the same steamy, dangerous tropical environment
as some of these stories.
