Jason S. Hi folks,

I'm Jay Ridler, author of the world's greatest pro wrestling thriller DEATH MATCH, which has received fine reviews from kindle sensation Scott Nicholson, award winning author Laird Barron, and multiple award winning legend Lucius Shepard.

For the next month, if you buy DEATH MATCH (synopsis and blurbs below), I'll send you a kindle copy of "One Bullet, Two Shots", about Keith "the Bullet" Winnick from DEATH MATCH FOR FREE! Just send me an email and let me know you've got DEATH MATCH and answer this question:

Who is Spar Battersea's favorite musician?

Once I hear back, you get a double shot of noir goodness, set in the world of pro wrestling!

Thanks for your time!

Jay Ridler

--
A friend’s death at a pro wrestling show sends gutter journalist and punk rock hasbeen Spar Battersea back to the underground of the city to find the killer. Along the way he rams into a washed up grappler deadlier than a snake bite, a dominatrix who dresses like June Cleaver, and the freak of nature who may be the killer, the mime known as Johnny Silent. To get to the truth, Spar will have to contend with each and then survive his very own . . . Death Match!

Advance Praise for DEATH MATCH!

"A brash, fresh, and entertaining talent steps into the ring."-- Scott Nicholson, Liquid Fear

"Death Match is a rock ‘em sock ‘em addition to the noir canon. Gritty, relentless, and wry as hell, Ridler brings the pain." Laird Barron, award winning author of The Light is the Darkness

"Death Match is a literary beatdown that takes you to the top rope and piledrives you face-first onto a box of flaming thumbtacks -- in a good way." --Ben Thompson, Bad Ass: Birth of a Legend, and the website, Bad Ass of the Week.

"Fast, breezy and barbarous, Death Match is a fine, innovative noir from an exciting new writer. Reading the book is like eating a corn dog while watching a lard fire run through a greasy-spoon, it's both tasty and nasty." --Lucius Shepard, multiple-award-winning author of A Handbook of American Prayer

"A swift blow to the head. Ridler’s Death Match is a fast-paced battle royal of such character and action that even once you’re bleeding profusely, you don’t want him to ring the final bell.” Trent Zelazny, author of To Sleep Gently
