DEAD IN THE RING plunges the reader into the surreal, fantastical, and brutal world of professional wrestling, following a determined-and deeply damaged-hero pursuing the truth in an arena sustained by illusion. Ridler's visceral prose and ability to create larger-than-life characters that still sweat, bleed, and suffer make this mystery compulsively readable from the opening pages to when the last body drops. -Kate Alice Marshall, bestselling author of WHAT LIES IN THE WOODS
Set in the relentless world of pro wrestling at its zenith (or nadir, depending on your point of view), Jason Ridler's DEAD IN THE RING is a brutal, intoxicating novel that grabs you in a chokehold and doesn't let go. Hardcore noir at its finest. - NYT-Bestselling author Elizabeth Hand, author of GENERATION LOSS (Cass Neary)
Nobody does hybrid quite like Jason Ridler. Part mother-and-child reunion, part epistolary, part adventures on the mat, DEAD IN THE RING challenges the tropes of storytelling, an iconoclast's fast-paced, no-hold's barred blend of noir and mystery; a love letter to the lost art of wrestling. -Joe Clifford, award-winning author of SAY MY NAME.
