Death, You Jabroni

When his friend Lars becomes the ring announcer for a small promotion, Joe Davis, Twin Cities humor blogger and low-level celebrity, gets a look inside the wild world of professional wrestling. Joe, a lifelong fan, is thrilled...until one of the promotion's main event stars turns up dead. And another main event star is the top suspect.

Believing the police are pursuing the wrong person, Joe takes on the investigation himself. It takes him deeper into the world of professional wrestling, where the line between fact and fiction is often blurred. Along the way, he meets a promoter desperate to reach the big time, a couple of aging stars facing the end of their careers, and a young star with a dark secret in her past. Joe must also deal with sneak attacks, break-ins, secret agendas, and frameups. Can Joe navigate a world in which nothing and no one are quite what they seem? And can he do it without suffering a beatdown of his own?
