The Cleanup by Sean Doolittle (Dell\, $7.99). Busted to night patrol at a robbery-prone Omaha supermarket\, Matthew Worth is doing time\, wearing his uniform\, and asking shoppers if they want paper or plastic.

When Gwen comes to him one night scared and desperate for help\, Worth discovers just how far he's willing to go to protect and serve. The author\, Sean Doolittle\, will lead the discussion.
