Grappling With Trouble

They Were Supposed to Keep Him Safe. That Was Their First Mistake.
Jeffery and Jerald Hardigan are identical twins, former professional wrestlers with a shared talent for mayhem. One's got a temper. The other’s got a stutter and a PhD-level obsession with nineteenth-century literature. Together, they’re the last two guys you want as your bodyguards, unless your life is already an unfixable mess.
Enter Ricky DeLuca, a sleazy private eye juggling a jealous husband, an affair with the husband’s wife, a stripper ex who wants her money, and a blackmail scheme targeting a family-values judge with a leather harness problem.
Ricky hires the twins for muscle. What follows is a hurricane of bad decisions, shady deals, exploding sedans, poetic threats, and enough small-town scandal to make the news crawl weep.
