Falls Count Anywhere

By David Louden

Falls Count Anywhere description
In 1980s sun-soaked LA, a medically retired pro wrestler turned PI suplexes cold cases and old grudges in a hardboiled, darkly funny noir series.

One bad fall and a broken neck ended Jack Gecko's wrestling career. Now he pays the bills finding people and answers in the city of broken dreams. When his best friend is found dead and the cops call it an overdose, Jack doesn't buy it.

Chasing the truth drags him through locker room bottom-feeders, crooked cops, and the darker corners of the business that broke him. To clear her name, Jack has to take on cops, crooks, and old enemies who'd rather see the case stay buried. If he lets them call it an overdose, it's not just her reputation going under - it's the last honest thing he's got left.

Recently retired professional wrestler, turned private detective, 'The Lone Wolf' Jack Gecko finds himself pulled back into the world of faces and heels when his best friend is found dead in a motel room and nobody can provide a satisfactory explanation why.
As Jack reflects on his time inside the squared circle he is confronted by the true nature and cost of a life between the ropes and is forced to face-up to everything that exists between the trauma and triumph.
