She glared at me. “I’m going to need your ID and a fingerprint.”
I signed the back of the check and pulled my driver’s license
from my wallet. She looked down at my picture then back up
at me. “I need your fingerprint.” I pressed my index finger on the
ink-pad and then on the front of the check. I hoped that my make
believe twin wasn’t out kiting checks again.
As I was leaving the bank, I noticed that the teller still had my
driver’s license. She was already busy alienating another potential
customer. I had to yell to get her attention and then my ID. No time
for coffee. My fifteen minutes were up.
Outside, I lit another cigarette and headed back to the office.
“Why does everyone have to be so fucking stupid? I want to be an
idiot too.” I shook my head and laughed. “I’d never get away with
it.”

More About The Book
Skip-Trace is a psychological thriller written entirely from the vantage point of the Bill Collector and is a first-person account fully charged with emotion and strong dialogue. The language is contemporary and often raw and unrelenting.
You can't get blood out of a turnip. Sam Phillips is a Repo-man who has to take a job as a Bill Collector after being shot and nearly killed. Everyone has an excuse for not paying their bills and Sam quickly realizes that having a desk job isn't all that it's cracked up to be. In a personal battle with alcohol, drugs and his own paranoia, he searches deep within his soul to find the answers. However, society, his infectious coworkers and the boss who hired them push him over the edge until he is forced with a decision that leads to an addiction far worse than he could have ever imagined.
Book Reviews
For anyone who has ever worked in a cubicle or telemarketing type of job , they'll know exactly what the author is trying to say. I'm amazed there hasnt been any 'real life' scenarios like this book, but then again it's probably a good thing! This is a great book for anyone who needs a little reassurance that all telemarketers are not bad, or crazy! - C. Manning aka "cookie bear"
