Why do they call Keith Winnick "The Bullet"? Is it because he's the most dangerous thing on two legs in the pretend world of pro wrestling? Is it because his punches are faster than a shot from a stolen gun?
Or is it because of the murder attached to his name from his days in the ring?
From the pages of DEATH MATCH comes ONE BULLET, TWO SHOTS: two stories of Keith "The Bullet" Winnick on his road to glory in the squared circle, and the hideous price he paid.
BONUS! You also get the first chapter of the novel DEATH MATCH, where The Bullet first appeared, and where his adventures continue alongside trouble-magnet Spar Battersea.
ONE BULLET, TWO SHOTS is a great way to introduce yourself to the Spar Battersea thrillers DEATH MATCH and CON JOB, available now for kindle!
PRAISE FOR THE SPAR BATTERSEA SERIES!
"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
