About this ebook
The drugs are missing and four lives are about to collide.
Clyde just wanted to make a little extra cash on the side to raise his new baby. Now his life and the lives of his wife and newborn daughter are in jeopardy.
Brent just wanted to do his job and be left alone. Now he's in a race against time for his life.
Sean just wanted to escape the crime he committed in Detroit. Now he's stumbled into another. The money he embezzled is nothing compared the load of narcotics that fell into his lap.
And Skeeter? Well, Skeeter wants the drugs back, and he'll use any means necessary to get them.
When these four are let loose on a mad scramble to locate the drugs, they cut a path of mayhem and bloodshed across Virginia. Inept would-be criminals clash with ruthless drug dealers in a violent weekend where no one is safe.
The only certainty: Everyone is in over their heads.
Praise for OVER THEIR HEADS ...
"Hard boiled pulp, hot off the press. The writing team of JB Kohl and Eric Beetner give the middle finger to polite crime writing and splatter the pages of Over Their Heads with foul mouthed, two-fisted action delivered in a hail of bullets. Neo-noir, transgressive fans will cheer. Drawing room mystery readers may need smelling salts. Don't say you weren't warned." — Anonymous-9, author of Hard Bite and Bite Harder
"Over Their Heads is a stripped down hot-rod of a novel. JB Kohl and Eric Beetner keep things fast and tight, with a gasp or a laugh on pretty much every page as an assortment of would-be badasses try to track down some missing drugs. It's a comedy of errors, scored with the sound of gunfire." — Jake Hinkson, author of The Big Ugly
"Over Their Heads is a real tour-de-force from the writers that brought you One too Many Blows to the Head. A full-blown crime noir that will keep you on the edge of your seat!" — Bill Craig, author of the Marlow Key West Mysteries and the Decker P.I. mysteries

One Too Many Blows To The Head
"One Too Many Blows to the Head feels like a long-lost pulp you find in a favorite bookstore. A delicious mix of classic hardboiled grit and the heart-heavy world of film noir, it's a one-sitting read that sends you back to a lost time of fight halls, Chicago boys and last chances." — Megan Abbott, author of Dare Me and Queenpin
"A powerful tale of vengeance, rife with pounding action and colorful, complex characters. One Too Many Blows To The Head is a first round knock-out!" — Stephen Jay Schwartz, LA Times best-selling author of Boulevard and Beat
"The prose is hardboiled and lean, and there's plenty of violence. There's a surprise or two along the way, and you'll want to know what happens to Fokoli and Ray. They're deeply flawed, but Beetner and Kohl keep them human, which is quite an accomplishment when you consider the circumstances." — Bill Crider, author of the Sheriff Dan Rhodes series
Borrowed Trouble
"Meticulous historical detail slams you into the hard boiled world of Ray Ward and Dean Fokoli as they use hard fists and cold steel to knock the shiny off Hollywood's glitter. Borrowed Trouble is like a talented fighter — powerful, quick, and hard to put down." — Rebecca Cantrell, NYT best-selling author of the Hannah Vogel mysteries
"For a knockout punch of hardboiled, look no further than Borrowed Trouble, sequel to the period noir One Too Many Blows To The Head. You'll want to go the distance with Ray Ward, a tough-luck protagonist who knows how to hit where it counts!" — Kelli Stanley, author of City of Dragons and City of Secrets
