Two Pours - A Crime Noir Sampler

A darkly comic neo-crime thriller

Twenty-four years ago, Beau Garrett left his best friend to die.

He buried the truth. Built an empire. And told himself the past stayed dead.

He was wrong.

The dead man’s son now pours drinks at Beau’s nightclub—and he’s very good at his job. Too good. Sean Collins is charming, calculating, and hiding a blade behind the smile. Revenge isn’t a question of if—only when.

As bodies pile up, secrets spill faster than liquor, and temptation clouds every bad decision, Sean must uncover the truth before he becomes the next casualty of a debt long overdue.

Dark. Funny. Dangerous.



Pour Judgement is a fast-paced neo-crime dramedy about revenge, ambition, and the lies we tell ourselves to survive. Think Breaking Bad swagger colliding with Magic Mike decadence—shaken hard with a splash of Ozark.

Written by a former industry insider, this story pulls you behind the bar and into a world of late nights, bad choices, and consequences that don’t stay buried. The drinks are strong and nobody gets out clean.

The names have been changed—to protect The Guilty
