The Driver

The Driver

by Steve Bartholomew

Sometimes a murder happens in broad daylight. In 1877 a man is stabbed on a San Francisco streetcar, but no one sees it happen.

Georg Vintner is the Driver. He finds himself suspected of the crime because there’s no one else to pin it on. The victim is from a wealthy family, and the DA wants a conviction. The Driver needs to find the killer and prove his own innocence. It’s either that or hang.

Genevieve Sutliff is the only other known witness, but she didn’t see the killer. The Driver finds himself personally involved with her, to his own surprise and confusion. Mrs. Sutliff, a recent widow, discovers herself equally confused. She will do anything to save her Driver, even if it means telling him some dark secrets.

The Driver must unravel this web of deception and crime before it’s too late. His other choices are to run, leaving all behind, or to let them hang him. Now read the tale and travel to a time that haunts us yet today.
