They Were Divided by Cold Debt — Dean Wesley Smith

Bryant Street, a standard subdivision street, haunts us all. To escape Bryant Street often takes real courage.
Meet Neil Prendell. He made a mistake. He lost his job but avoided telling his wife. Instead, he pretended to go to work while looking for another job.
Pride? Fear? Stupidity? The reason no longer mattered. He paid the price.
A price that only made sense in the twisted logic of Bryant Street.
