Jennifer Busskohl
(a.k.a. J.B.Kohl)
Tune to
99.1FM on Monday, February 8th at 8:05A.M. to hear Jennifer
discuss her newly-released second book with XTRA's host of CBW's
Second Monday radio show, Neal Steele. If you missed the live
broadcast,it now.
About the Book
In a world of fixed fights and mob
influence Ray Ward and his brother Rex are two of the only clean
fighters in town. With Ray
in
the corner and Rex in the ring they are headed for the big time. Until
that fateful night. Now Ray has a score to settle using a lifetime of
lessons in how to fight back. Dean Fokoli is a detective with a new
partner, an alcoholic wife and a guilty conscience. At least the boxer
on the radio who just got beat to a pulp won’t end up in his homicide
file. But when the dregs of the crooked fight world start turning up
dead, Fokoli is on the hunt for the killer. The chase will take him to
the underbelly of the Kansas City night and hopefully keep him one step
ahead of his past.
One Too Many Blows to
The Head is co-authored by Eric Beetner. Busskohl and
Beetner currently are at work on a sequel.
