    About this ebook

    Larry Yidell has a problem alright. He's desperately unhappy, and the one woman who loves him (or at least tolerates him) can't stand to be in the same room as poor Larry. 
    Crime is almost never an option, but when you run out of places to hide, the mind can play funny tricks. Like pushing over a seasonal shop at the height of the season! Come along for the ride as Larry decides that sometimes crime MAY pay! 
    Author Vince Iuliano (Last Will and Testicle, Horse of a Different Color, The Rise and Fall of Sonny Roman) takes another wicked peek over at the dark side and comes away a changed and bitter man!

      The Push-Over :a short crime story - Vince Iuliano

While he was not averse to sharing his life with the formidable Miss C., Larry impressed on her at the start that there were clear lines of demarcation; boundaries he expected her to abide. For her part, Wilma let him know that he could stuff it.

      She moved in within the first month, establishing her territorial control by furnishing their bedroom with framed pictures of her family. Larry thought it ironic that every one of her relatives shared the same sized head, lending much credence to the Cabbage family name.

      Within that first week, he found himself banished to the livingroom couch, for snoring.

      By the third month, Wilma Cabbage – herself comfortably unemployed with no prospects and even less interest – began complaining about her new boyfriend’s pitifully small paychecks. "How
