.99 on Amazon 153 Reviews
In "The Match," Elizabeth thinks that her boyfriend, the detective, may be ready to propose, but when conversation takes an unexpected turn, she must decide how much to reveal about a collection of books and an encounter with the law on a night when life and death hung in the balance. Another captivating short story by acclaimed author Quent Cordair.
The right amount of twists and turns in this piece. Character development is intriguing. Once drawn into the story, I was kept guessing until almost the end. Just enough political and philosophical to be provocative. Bravo.
I look forward to reading more of this author’s work.

"Cordair spins an intriguing tale with a small cast of well-drawn and believable characters. And he manages to make an interesting and timely political point in the context of a police investigation and a love story." -The Objective Standard
“Now that was fun! I've enjoyed Quent Cordair's previous work, but this one really jumps to a whole new level. Excellent short work of fiction. It's a short story, so any kind of summary is a spoiler, so I'll just say that I did not expect the direction it took and the fascinating way he took us there. Really beautifully done.
Considering the author's home base, if this story were a glass of wine, I'd say that it had an excellent bouquet, some surprising accents, and a long, satisfying finish that lingers pleasantly afterwards. Quite drinkable right now, with good aging potential.
I'm looking forward to his next effort. This was well worth the time.” - Alan Nitikman
