The Man Behind The Bar edition by Chris Sarantopoulos Literature Fiction eBooks
The Man Behind The Bar by Chris Sarantopoulos is a very story of twenty-two pages about a tired assassin who just doesn’t want to play anymore. At the time of this story, Phil Harrisson has been out of play for five years. Gone but not forgotten as during his working days he had skimmed some money off the top from incomes of former bosses. Former bosses because he was as close to a double agent as possible. Hired by one criminal organization to infiltrate and frame another, Phil had taken his cut where he could. It had not gone unnoticed. As a professional, it seems Phil could have done a better job of hiding than to simply change his name, open a bar, and work as a bartender/owner.Phil recognized a fellow assassin when the customer walked in. When the customer ordered a drink familiar in Phil’s past, it was confirmed. Now the job was to get the few customers to leave before the killing began. Phil knew the way it would end but looked for the best time to make his move during the time the two openly admitted assassins began talking. Phil’s question was “Why now?” The hitman’s question was “How much did you steal?” Those questions were answered up to the point when Phil saw his chance.
But the final answer to all questions surprised even Phil.
This is an entertaining, short coffee-break story. I would be interested to know what percentage of readers was able to predict the ending. I did not, although after reading the ending I was not surprised. The writing style is crisp with no unneeded flowery language. I look forward to reading longer works by this author. It sells on the Amazon page for USD 0.99 and I gave it four Amazon stars.

The Man Behind The Bar edition by Chris Sarantopoulos Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I really enjoyed this story. Plenty of twists, and I like the author's style of writing. Excellent read!
The only comment I could make is that it is short! I could not connect and was not comfortable with it.Just not my kind of story.
Chris has become one of my favorite new authors. His writing is so descriptive that you become one with the story. This is the second short story of his I've read and look forward to the other two. Just proves you don't need a 300 plus page novel to tell a complete story.
A 22 page short story and the opportunity to try out another writer's work for zilch via Instafreebie.
An ok story, no stop you in your tracks turn of prose, no annoying clunky sentences, decent writing. Reasonable premise, though I kind of wondered about the hiding in plain sight option our man behind the bar took. Not wise in hindsight. Inevitable twist in the tale. I quite enjoyed it and I've read a lot worse in my time.
Enough there to not rule out reading more from the author in the future.

What an intense, gripping thrill ride! From the character descriptions and language to the way the author sets the tone, I have found myself wishing it wasn't over! Yet, it was a taut, tasty treat wrapped up inside of something delicious in a way that makes you want more, yet is complete all in itself. This story is one of those things that perfectly ends itself, yet leaves you wanting more, and not in a sense that you feel the author left you hanging. We have a fast-moving, suspenseful short story that delivers what you need to know moment by moment until its revealing ending. I would love to read more from this author and hope he will also write longer works of fiction.
