From the bestselling Yesterday's Gone series comes this tale of vigilante justice, What Would Boricio Do? This short story takes place before events of Yesterday's Gone, so there's no spoilers if you haven't read that series.

Boricio Wolfe is a killer with no remorse and just two rules.

1) Always use the best ingredients when cooking.

2) Don't shit where you eat.

The only way a serial killer can keep a (somewhat) normal life is to stick to the rules -- especially the second one. Boricio has finally found a job that doesn't make him homicidal, and is working his way to working in the restaurant of his dreams. All he has to do is keep out of trouble and impress Mr. Jules, a man who owns some of the best restaurants in the state.

And Boricio is on the fast track to being a top chef... if he just sticks to the rules.

But how long can Boricio stick to those rules when a young kid with an abusive father comes into his restaurant, just begging to be killed?

Because nothing sets Boricio off quite like abusive fathers.

Should he turn a blind eye?

Should he just leave well enough alone?

Or should he give the kid an early Christmas gift and kill his prick of a father?

What Would Boricio Do?
