About Crushed Trachea Blues
Suicide by Jiu-Jitsu? A beloved MMA fighter has turned up dead. The DA office is dragging its feet. Snarky yet noble private eye Paisley Fuentes is hired to determine what happened.
Follow Paisley under the dark underbelly of Los Angeles and over the alabaster backside of the Hollywood Hills as he ventures into intimidating MMA gyms, corporate high-rises, and the unforgiving wastes of Death Valley. Take a shot of tequila with Paisley before he tussles with vegan crime bosses, nerd assassins, and–get this–AI Charles Manson. It’s a perplexing case, but he has help in his weirdo bodyguard Mazagon, his gold prospector friend Tutmoses Ochoa, and a borax miner called Unethical Ted. Can they stop an illegal music festival out in the desert before it starts a war between the bloodmouths and the haybreaths?
It’s as much a whydunnit as it is a whodunnit in Crushed Trachea Blues. Because Paisley would like to cash that check and get back to street tacos and tequila shots. You in?
