Product Description

Product Description

From award winning thriller writer Brett Battles comes a tale of a different kind of family.

The girls call Wade Norris, “Papa.”

He’s not their dad. He’s not their uncle. He’s not even related to them. In fact, he was born thousands of miles from the Philippines, the place he now calls home.

No, Wade’s none of those things. He’s their Papasan. He runs the go-go bar where the girls dance and entertain. But that doesn’t make them any less than a family.

And rule number one: don’t mess with the family.

PERFECT GENTLEMAN is a 6000 word short story that originally appeared in the KILLER YEAR: STORIES TO DIE FOR anthology edited by Lee Child.

Poor value, poor story 19 April 2011
By B. Bello VINE™ VOICE
Format:Kindle Edition
First off I have to say that I am a fan of Brett Battles, I have read all his books and really enjoyed every thing right up until I read this very short story. It was something I would have expected from a much less experienced writer, very predictable,not at all what I would have expected, even for such a low price. Don't buy this if you are expecting a normal Brett Battles story, you will be disappointed.

Great Short Story! 28 April 2011
By Corri Gryting - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
In some ways, this story is much different than Brett Battles' Quinn Series (The Cleaner, The Deceived, Shadow of Betrayal and The Silenced) or his new Logan Harper series that begins with Little Girl Gone.

Both of these series are fast-paced action thrillers that cause friends of mine to report sleepless nights each time they begin a new book. Battles' style creates a rapid reading and page-turning response in the novels I have read so far. They are enjoyable. Each one I've started, I did not want to put down until I had finished.

For the fast action, intrigue and reading enjoyment, PERFECT GENTLEMEN is reminiscent of Battles' books. Although in this story, the main character is not immediately recognizable as a "good guy", he still has a good heart and a sense of justice.

The main difference between PERFECT GENTLEMAN and Battles' novels is the ability to get action, suspense and mystery served up in a bite-sized portion and still have enough time to sleep. I enjoyed it. Without spoiling the surprise of the plot, the story's main character is an American ex-patriot in the Philippines who looks after his girls. Somehow, in six thousand words, Battles weaves interesting characters and situations into a believable yet surprising plot. In short-story form, this is a full-course meal.

Great short story! 25 Aug 2011

I'm always amazed by a good short story teller. They pack all the details so you really become involved. Then it's over. And you wonder-- how did it all go so fast? This is a power packing author -- try it!
