Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Don't mess with the hothead-or he might just mess with you. Slater Ibáñez is only interested in two kinds of guys: the ones he wants to punch, and the ones he sleeps with. Things get interesting when they start to overlap.Hired by tenacious journalist Elvaine to look into a college student who went missing decades ago, Slater finds himself sparring with film-industry lowlifes, a delusional New Age herbalist shilling cure-all supplements, and an enigmatic synchromystic who challenges his understanding of the very nature of reality. After a night at a séance with Pike and then a ghost hunt in an abandoned hotel, Slater pulls enough threads to get a bead on the missing man. The quest leads him out of town, where he meets the eagle and lands a gig that might pay off big time-if he can manage not to get greased along the way.Freelance investigator Slater trolls the dark side of Los Angeles, rooting out insurance fraud, not afraid to use whatever means necessary to get things done, and not about to hold back with his fists. A queer antihero for a new age, Slater walks the line between ordinary life and the frayed fringes of society, keeping his balance with the back-channel support he gets from main squeeze Pike, business partner Max, and operatives Andy and Etta.
