A proposito di questo titolo
Imagine for a moment you're Marcus Cooper. A slick stranger meets you in a bar. You're drunk. You talk a lot. Without realizing it he's learning about you. Your desire for money and women. By night's end he makes you a million-dollar proposition to cause a drunk-driving accident. Sounds crazy to you? Maybe, maybe not. You're out of work. Bills are piling up. You owe your bookie six grand. But mostly you're twenty years removed from being the high-school football star you once were, doubting how much longer life is worth living. Do you take the chance?

©2013 Alfred C. Martino (P)2013 Alfred C. Martino"Author Martino diverges from his outstanding young adult sports series with this adult short story.... Narrator Patrick Lawlor deftly inhabits each character in the story.... An unexpected and ironic conclusion adds to the listener's enjoyment." (AudioFile)
“Quiet Desperation is an excellent very short short story, filled with misery, pride, fear, threats as well as some raunchy language and sexy scenes.... Narrator Patrick Lawlor really makes this story, and the characters, come to life; but it’s a life listeners wouldn’t want to live.” (Sound Commentary)
