Description

Agatha Christie meets How We Roll in this entertaining new series.

Murder sees double when former pro bowler Billy Gills finds himself summoned to the Partridgeberry County morgue to identify the body of his identical twin brother, Bo. Billy is the proprietor of Split City Lanes, a classic hometown bowling alley, located in the charmingly rundown, lakeside town of Twin Strikes.

Partridgeberry and Twin Strikes are peopled by a hearty band of oddball characters—an unlikely setting for murder. But Bo is the founder of TreadBo, a successful specialty bowling shoe manufacturer; he is famous for his quirky sense of fashion, fitness fanaticism, and unusual hobbies, which may have gotten him into trouble. Not to mention, Billy has some demons of his own to slay. Fortunately, Split City Lanes is also home to "Jesus Spares", a church service, bowling, and social gathering where almost anything can happen.

Billy may need every ounce of faith he has to discover the truth about himself and his eccentric twin brother.

About the Author

The first hint of Andy Straka’s future writing career came at the age of four when he appeared at his small-town neighbor’s back door carrying a butcher’s knife. Thankfully, the neighbor called Andy’s mother instead of social services. Featured by Publishers Weekly among a group of "rising stars" in crime fiction, Andy is a past finalist for the Agatha Award and the Anthony Award and the author of the Shamus Award-winning Frank Pavlicek private eye series. His books have sold over 400,000 copies, including the #1 bestselling A Witness Above. Andy is a former college basketball player, a licensed falconer, and longtime husband and father. Rumor also has it that he hails from upstate New York, where he often spent Sunday afternoons, growing up, bowling with his parents and identical twin brother.
