"The Canary Islands Crime Boss," by Glenda Young, in Noirville, Fahrenheit Press, 2018.Poor Jimmy. An accountant isn't supposed to get in this sort of trouble. Yes, when he married Linda he knew her brother was in organized crime. But he never guessed Larry would rope him in to do the books. And once you're in that business the severance package is... severe.
Larry has called them down to the Canary Islands so Jimmy can help with his latest project, which is a little odd. "We'll be the baked bean underbelly of Britain," he declares, and, no, I won't attempt to explain that.
But Larry has enemies. Maybe Jimmy does too. Maybe his wife is jealous of his assorted affairs. Maybe things aren't as sunny in the islands as the tourist brochures would have you believe...
