Owen Ashe and Charlie Brittle are the dead-broke owners of the least popular saloon in the desert town of Olvidados. So when a known bank robber with a bounty on his head is spotted in the vicinity, the pair see a way to quickly improve their fortunes. Capturing their man proves to be easy enough. But while attempting to collect the reward they find themselves at odds with the notorious Scault gang, a vicious outlaw family widely feared for their ruthlessness. After a violent encounter leaves one of the family dead, the Scaults retaliate, leaving Owen and Charlie no choice but to track them to their lair in the heart of the desert. Each leg of the journey brings more brutality and death, and the reluctant bounty hunters are forced to embrace their own savage natures when they finally face the deadly Scaults in a showdown at the ends of the earth.

A thrilling throwback to the two-fisted pulp fiction of Noir's heyday from author Timothy Friend that takes you back to the 1950's, for a tale of heroes and villains, organized crime, and the true meaning of revenge. Set in 1953 during the early days of live television, Rocket Ryder and Little Putt-Putt Go Down Swinging is violent, exciting noir fiction, laced with pitch black humor. When Rick Tanner and Scotty Crane get the news that their low-rent kiddie show has been cancelled they figure they've hit rock bottom, but when the director of their show is murdered, and they're framed for the crime, they discover how far they still have to fall. The duo - one a terminally ill Korean war vet, the other a hopeless drunk - set out on a quest for blind justice that leaves a trail of bodies from Kansas City to the Ozarks. Their misguided mission brings them face to face with corrupt cops, gangsters, and an ex-criminal turned politician. As they discover the truth about their friend's death, and the untouchable nature of the guilty parties, Rick and Scotty realize there's no way out for them. It isn't a question of if they're going down, but how. "Kick-ass crime and old-skool TV sleaze delivered in heapin' helpings of tasty goodness." - Scott S. Phillips, filmmaker and author of the Pete, Drinker of Blood series, and Gun Up "This is not a time capsule of your granddaddy's nostalgic childhood. It's a timelessly tantalizing tale of complex, compelling characters caught in a wildly woven web of deceit and death, conveyed in the stylishly seductive tradition of classic pulp literature. Compulsively readable, effortlessly enthralling entertainment." - Will "The Thrill" Viharo, author of the Vic Valentine P.I. series, and A Mermaid Drowns at the Midnight Lounge
