Short Stories By Hugh Lessig

Hugh’s stories can be found in anthologies from Down & Out Books.

Those include three volumes of Mickey Finn: 21st Century Noir; and Groovy Gumshoes: Private Eyes in the Psychedelic Sixties. His second novella, Hunka, Hunka Burning Rubber, is part of the Chop Shop series also from Down & Out.

Prohibition Peepers stories are set during and immediately after the end of Prohibition, with private eyes serving clients of all social statuses.

These hardboiled and fast-paced tales will have you reaching for your own mason jar of moonshine. This collection includes my story, "Cloths of Heaven."

From old-school private eyes with their flat-tops, off-the-rack suits, and well-worn brogues to the new breed of private eyes with their shoulder-length hair, bell-bottoms, and hemp sandals, the shamuses in Groovy Gumshoes take readers on a rollicking romp through the Sixties.

Mickey Finn: 21st Century Noir is a crime-fiction cocktail that will knock readers into a literary stupor. Contributors push hard against the boundaries of crime fiction.

Mickey Finn: 21st Century Noir, Volume 2, the second entry of the hard-hitting anthology series, is a crime-fiction cocktail that will again knock readers into a literary stupor.
