Not Talking Italics
Russell Day came to Fahrenheit Press’s attention when they asked for submissions for their NOIRVILLE short story competition. A panel of judges placed Day’s stories in first and second place! Only one of the stories features in the NOIRVILLE anthology, the second one is available here:
Russell Day : Not Talking Italics (eBook – Kindle version)
Not Talking Italics features Russell Day’s smooth talking ‘almost-hero’, Doc Slidesmith.
Caught up in a high-stakes poker game that goes badly wrong, Doc finds himself sitting in a police interview room looking at fifteen to twenty-years. The police want him to talk.
That’s alright. Doc likes a chat.

Needle Song
Spending the night with a beautiful woman would be a good alibi, if the body in the next room wasn’t her husband.
Doc Slidesmith has a habit of knowing things he shouldn’t. He knows the woman Chris Rudjer meets online is married. He knows the adult fun she’s looking for is likely to be short lived. And when her husband’s killed, he knows Chris Rudjer didn’t do it.
Only trouble is the police disagree and no one wants to waste time investigating an open and shut case.
No one except Doc.
Using lies, blackmail and a loaded pack of Tarot cards, Doc sets about looking for the truth – but the more truth he finds, the less he thinks his friend is going to like it.
