One apartment. Five friends. Fourteen shots of mezcal. Zero grip on reality.
When fAIzi, Arun, STR, Otta, and Stanley gather for a night of legendary drinking, they expect a hangover. They don't expect to become the front line in a high-stakes, international conspiracy involving Morse-coding ceiling fans and ginger feline double agents.
It all starts when the Giant Meatball of Sector 7 vanishes from a coffee table in broad daylight (or at least, under a very dim IKEA lamp). To a sober person, it's a snack that fell on the floor. To the Task Force, it's a heist that threatens the very fabric of the matrix.
Follow the team as they navigate the treacherous terrain of a hallway, conduct a tactical breach of a bathroom, and face off against Agent Pepperoni-a pizza delivery man who just wants his tip and to get as far away from these lunatics as possible.
The Mezcal Mandate is a riotous, drunk-logic thriller that proves you don't need a badge or a gun to solve a mystery-you just need a kitchen colander for frequency protection and a friend who thinks meatballs need a bath.
Praise for The Mezcal Mandate:
A masterpiece of intoxicated deduction. - The Morning-After Review I haven't been this confused since I actually was drunk. - Anonymous Pizza Guy Meow. - The Detective (formerly known as the Ginger Cat)
