Excerpt:
“And what’s your line, Mr. Rider?”
“I’m a bookseller,” the Rider answered.
Doc’s eyes took in the myriad of tiny white scars crisscrossing his face and hands.
“Pardon my asking, but where does a bookseller get scars like those?”
The Rider shifted uncomfortably under Doc’s gaze, and put his hands in his pockets.
“Paper cuts,” he said without smiling.
