Five Dollar Wrench

Introduction

Old school, I said.

That's how it's done.

— The Ghost

These are the first five chapters of a novel titled Five Dollar Wrench, The True Confession of a Bitcoin Thief.

Actually, I'll share a few scenes from chapter six, too. That seems like a better place to pause.

Each page here is a scene from the story, which would be roughly 3 to 7 pages in a printed book.

I've been told the novel is a darkly comic crime thriller. Perhaps. I think of it as literary fiction, because it's more about the criminal than the crimes.

This is the current draft, which is nearing completion. I'm mostly polishing and tidying things up at this point.

I hope you enjoy the story.
