One Too Many Blows To The Head by JB Kohl & Eric Beetner.


OUT TODAY!

One Too Many Blows To The Head marks the debut collaboration of authors JB Kohl and
Eric Beetner.
This taut and gritty Noir takes place amid the seedy world of fixed fights and mob
influence. Uniquely, it features two first-person narratives as we follow the intertwining story of
the hunter and the hunted.
From the jacket:
Kansas City, 1939.
In a world of fixed fights and mob influence Ray Ward and his brother Rex are two of the only
clean fighters in town. With Ray in the corner and Rex in the ring they are headed for the big
time. Until that fateful night. Now Ray has a score to settle using a lifetime of lessons in how to
fight back.
Dean Fokoli is a detective with a new partner, an alcoholic wife and a guilty conscience. At least
the boxer on the radio who just got beat to a pulp won’t end up in his homicide file. But when
the dregs of the crooked fight world start turning up dead, Fokoli is on the hunt for the killer.
The chase will take him to the underbelly of the Kansas City night and hopefully keep him one
step ahead of his past.
One Too Many Blows To The Head is a razor-edged story of revenge, redemption and
what happens when you confront the ghosts of the past.

It has garnered praise from Edgar Award winning author Megan Abbott:
“One Too Many Blows to the Head feels like a long-lost pulp you find in a favorite bookstore"

Looks fabulous. Also proof that two writers CAN work together...

Yeah, it's not a bad idea. David Cranmer and Anonymous 9 are working on a novel together too and I don't think that they've ever met!

This looks like a perfect book for my eldest brother. Thanks, Paul, for the great review.

Thanks for the plug, Paul. Hope you can get your copy in Poland. If you have any trouble, fear not - you know a guy.
