Synopsis: 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
