The Neon Owl: Book 1: When the Shit Hits the Van (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781654243531)

Jinx is a record-collecting, middle-aged minimalist whose dreams of becoming a detective are waylaid by love and laziness. But when he inherits his late aunt's rundown motel, The Neon Owl, his passion for investigative work reignites while he searches for answers as to who keeps shitting in the bushes. His findings lead to a full-blown murder mystery where he and new-found friend, Roddy, the elderly, one-legged handyman, set out to find the killer.A crime noir-ish whodunnit rife with humor, grit, and ranch dressing.
"Terrific stuff from Chad Lutzke, who manages to take tired tropes and set them on fire with passion and originality." Joe R. Lansdale, Champion Mojo Storyteller
"Once again, Lutzke shows his mastery of creating characters that live and breathe far from the page. An intoxicating blend of humor and intrigue. The only reason I paused while racing to the finale was to laugh out loud." Robert Ford, co-author of A Penny for Your Thoughts
