Strand's perpetually unlucky character Andrew Mayhem sets off on a simple mission at the request of his wife: Get some spaghetti sauce. On his way to the store he meets Konrath's obnoxious private eye Harry McGlade, co-star of the Lt. Jack Daniels thrillers.
Horrific violence, bad jokes, and lots of name calling soon ensues. Some sex, too, but not between the main characters.

"I laughed my ass off through most of this collection of alternating short stories. There were a couple of scenes where giddiness overcame me and I had to put the thing down to catch my breath. A very solid read for fans of off the wall, zany humor. These guys do it right."
— Adam (4 out of 5 stars)
" A good mix of a few short stories and a few long ones. I like the style of writing, a balance of humor and horror. I will check out more books from these authors. "
