Cobra Clutch

"Hammerhead" Jed Ounstead is an ex-pro-wrestler who has traded the squared circle for the slightly less perilous life of a bar bouncer and errand boy for his father's detective agency. However, his wrestling past catches up to him when his former tag-team partner, Johnny Mamba, calls on him for help. Johnny's pet python, Ginger, a crucial part of his ring entrance, has been kidnapped, and a ransom has been demanded. Jed agrees to look into the case, but the situation quickly escalates when the hostage exchange goes awry, resulting in the murder of both Johnny Mamba and Ginger. Seeking justice, Jed is dragged back into the seedy world of pro-wrestling, dealing with sleazy promoters, gimmicky performers, and violence as he investigates the killer. His search for the truth pits him against Vancouver's criminal underworld, which involves a case of drugs and bikers, forcing him to rely on his former wrestling contacts and his father's police connections. The book is the first installment in the 'Hammerhead Jed Mystery' series, blending raucous humor with gritty realism.
