CUTTER'S DEAL
______________________________
Mac is an old-school crime boss, and getting on in years. Cutter is newer to the game, a sociopath with big ambitions. While Mac has an underlying sense of right and wrong, Cutter cares about no one but himself. People are his to use, and when they’re no use anymore – or when he’s broken them – he casually discards them with no thought for the damage done.
When his world collides with that of a decent, hard-working – but financially struggling – working-class family, it’s only a matter of time before somebody gets hurt.
Meanwhile, Mac is looking increasingly fragile and there’s no clear successor to take over his

Praise for Cutter's Deal
'Morrigan doesn't need a bag of tricks. She is a first-rate storyteller. You don't notice how adept she is because you're riveted to what is happening ... I am a lifelong fan of Noir. Too often, I think, the label is misused as a blanket term for all things related to crime. Julie Morrigan not only gets it, but writes Noir as finely as anyone since the genre's inception.'
— Walter Conley
'Cutter's Deal is simply a brilliant, heart-in-mouth slice of social-realist crime fiction. The real deal.'
— Paul D. Brazill
'If you want a cosy read look elsewhere. No fancy prose here. This tale is written simply and starkly. Morrigan has never sugar-coated her writing and she has always been bold when it comes to telling it like it is. An excellent and compelling read.'
— Darren Sant
'As always, the heart of Julie Morrigan's stories are family and the devastating effects of crime and manipulation. The characters are real, the situations are real ... and Julie Morrigan's writing credentials are VERY real. A superb story.'
