Summary

Deep in debt to Tough City's biggest boss, DeCameron Wichita takes a missing persons job that he oughtn't've and makes the biggest rookie mistake a guy like him could make: He falls in love. 

With a stone-cold killer. 

But because he never does anything half-way, he also interferes with a blood feud, challenges Da Cherch, butts heads with pornographers, goes on the lam from the FTCP, saves a damsel in distress, jumps out of a flying machine, puts on a dress, goes to the movies, and visits his mom. Oh yeah, and punches a whole lotta people. Just like any other day in Tough City. Only it wasn't any other day. It was Tuesday. 

Read by co-author and renowned voice-actor Yuri Lowenthal, listeners will be in for a treat with the audiobook version of Tough City

Bug Bot Press is pleased to announce the comedy pulp novel Tough City. Written by Yuri Lowenthal and Keith Ikeda-Barry as part of a 72 hour novel writing contest, while holed up in a cheap motel in Wichita, Kansas, the making of the book is almost as exciting as the book itself. Almost. You won't want to miss this side-splitting and spit-taking hard-boiled adventure.

"A cross between bloody-knuckle noir and old-school Pink Panther slapstick it only hurts when you laugh, and you'll laugh a lot." (Scott Sigler, author of Contagious)

"I sat up in my seat when I read the introduction, moved to the edge when I read the first chapter, and held on tight when the damn thing took off. The only book this year that I read in one sitting, Tough City is the kind of literary experiment the world needs more of. Blisteringly odd descriptions and quirky, character-driven dialogue make for an unforgettable read!" (Travis Sentell, author of Fluid)
