Hollywood, 1941: Ray Ward spends his nights thinking about his brother’s death and the blood-soaked days that followed. Dean Fokoli is off the police force, disgraced by his dirty dealings, left to scrape by as a private investigator. Ray receives a mysterious package from his sister containing a plea for help and a reel of 8mm film; the problem is, Ray has no sister. Now two former enemies must team up, travel halfway across the country and search the dark shadow of Hollywood’s spotlight. Encountering far more than they bargained for, they plunge behind the silver screen to unearth tinsel town’s dirtiest secrets. Two men with nothing left to lose are unafraid to stir up serious trouble.
About the Author
JB Kohl and Eric Beetner started working together out of a mutual respect for each other's noir-tinged writing. Kohl's first novel, The Deputy's Widow caught Beetner's eye and his short story, Ditch (a top three pick in the 2009 Million Writer's Award) inspired Kohl to ask about a possible collaboration. The result, One Too Many Blows To The Head, came about entirely through email exchanges. Kohl lives on the east coast and Beetner the West. They have never met or even spoken on the phone. Despite that (or perhaps because) the partnership went smoothly and the duo garnered praise from Megan Abbott, Stephen Jay Schwartz, Steve Brewer, Rebecca Cantrell, Kelli Stanley and more. Their collaboration continues in the sequel, Borrowed Trouble.
