BLURB:

 

Sam Quinton hadn't thought much about the entertainment business for several years. His days as a minor celebrity were part of his past, which was fine with him. But when a Hollywood producer walks through the doors of his gym and offers to create a TV show around his life, Sam doesn't say no right away.

 

Then the producer's partner ends up dead in her hotel room, and Sam has to put on his private detective hat to straighten things out. It doesn't take long to realize the TV offer may not have been exactly what it was cracked up to be. Suddenly, a whole lot of seemingly bad folks are gunning for Sam. Forget his budding Hollywood career. He has to do everything possible to keep himself and his client alive.

EXCERPT:

 

He finally leveled his gaze on me. “Monumental Productions is a studio.”

 

“I pretty much figured that.”

 

“We mainly package series concepts for the major streaming services.”

 

“Any shows I may have heard of?” I asked.

 

“Sure.” Carson said. “You ever see Two for Tango?”

 

I shook my head.

 

“How about Three for a Party?”

 

Another shake on my part.

 

“Maybe Sexy Sixes?”

 

I shook my head again. It was starting to get monotonous.

 

“Okay,” Carson canted his head a bit. “Actually, we’re still looking for our first really big hit.”

 

“And your studio’s been in business how long?” I asked.

 

“About eight years, but we’ve got some really good financial backing.”

 

“Must have,” I said, “but what’s all of that got to do with me?”

 

Carson grinned, and I suddenly felt like a mouse that had stepped into a trap. He raised his hand up to me, shaped like kids do to show a gun, and cocked his trigger thumb.

 

“Are you kidding?” he asked. “It’s got everything to do with you. The Blond Bomber? Once a professional wrestling champion and now a big-time private eye? You’re gold, baby, and we’re going to make you the next big thing.”

 

Baby?
