A Dead Candidate. A Life-Changing Decision. A Quiet August Evening. Three stories. Free.

A long-shot political candidate is found dead in his car. Nobody seems to care why. Jake Horn does.

Years earlier — before the cases, before the reputation — one decision set Henry Walsh on a path he can't walk back.


And on a late summer night in Rhode Island, a tired old man answers his door and finds something he wasn't expecting.


The Winner
— Election night in Boston. A church basement. A dead candidate. What looks like a quiet night turns into something much darker.

Crossroad — Before he became the man people call, Henry Walsh faced a choice that changed everything. This is where it started.

Late August — A short story about loss, small kindnesses, and the kind of night that stays with you.
