Make It a Double Play on the Rocks
Jack Bourbon used to be a cop. Now he's just a private investigator with a flask in one pocket, a smartass remark in the other, and a case file full of people who lie for a living. Magic City isn't normal. The mascot of the minor league baseball team turns up dead in his own costume. A husband's cheating scandal spirals into something darker. And a mysterious woman in red keeps showing up just when things get weird. Jack's not the kind of guy who believes in curses, demons, or destiny. He believes in whiskey, gut instinct, and ignoring restraining orders. But the deeper he and his partner Ruby dig, the stranger the case gets-and the more the city itself seems to push back. Ruby keeps her theories to herself. Jack keeps charging ahead. One of them understands what's really happening. Darkly funny, sharp as a broken bottle, and soaked in bourbon and bad decisions, Make It a Double Play on the Rocks is detective noir with a supernatural twist-and one hell of a curveball.Complete
