Headlock

In this riotous mystery, a Pacific Northwest PI is hired by an ex-pro wrestler whose suspicions are hard to prove-and hard to follow: A real winner. -Library Journal Jeff Reynolds-an author who became a PI to find ideas for books-is about to get some new material. He's having breakfast with a potential client who tells a long story involving barroom brawls, professional wrestlers, and prostitutes; reveals that this is the first time he's been out of the house in fifteen years; and announces that his father was murdered. What he wants is for Reynolds to find out whether they're still after him. Though when Reynolds asks who they are, he refuses to say since Reynolds could be one of them. From the New York Times-bestselling and Edgar Award-winning author Burl Barer, and featuring cameos by a few real-life mystery authors, this is a wildly entertaining PI tale in which it's hard to tell what's deception, what's delusion, and what's genuinely deadly-and all roads lead to McFeely's Tavern in Walla Walla, Washington . . . Clever, quirky, and often outrageous. -Lee Goldberg, New York Times-bestselling author of Mr. Monk Gets Even Undeniable talent, pizazz and imagination. -Jack Olsen, New York Times-bestselling author of Night Watch
