The Agreement


How far would you do to get out of a gambling debt?

"The Agreement" is a short story that originally appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine in March 2005. It currently appears in the Konrath story collection 65 Proof.

Because "The Agreement" ties into the Jack Daniels thriller Last Call, Konrath has made it available on its own. Also included is a chapter from Last Call.

Warning: Though this only takes a few minutes to read, the images will stick with your for life. This is a wickedly mean story. So let the reader beware...
