2015 |
T.J. Brearton |
N/A |
Gunplay (2015) appeared in Brearton’s most productive early phase, published between the Titan series entries and the start of the North County books. Short story collections are rare in his catalog — the rest of his output consists entirely of novel-length fiction — making Gunplay a singular entry in his bibliography.
For readers who want to sample his style in a shorter format before committing to one of his series, the collection offers a direct view of his crime fiction sensibility in compressed form.
