"A friend's death at a pro wrestling show sends gutter journalist and punk rock hasbeen Spar Battersea back to the underground of the city to find the killer. Along the way he rams into a washed up grappler deadlier than a snake bite, a dominatrix who dresses like June Cleaver, and the freak of nature who may be the killer, the mime known as Johnny Silent. To get to the truth, Spar will have to contend with each and then survive his very own . . . Death Match!"What a smashingly fun read this book is!! I loved every page! Mr. Ridler has a gift for making the absurd not only witty- but part of a cohesive plot.  Death Match is chock full of characters that are unlike any you are likely to encounter (probably a very good thing!) but a treasure for readers who like their books fast and funny.While we travel with Spar...we are gifted with a truly fun and at times thrilling ride! I must say- after reading this- I might not be able to watch Leave It To Beaver and not think of the ..uh...June Cleaver-like character here! I love books like Death Match because - while character and plot can seem outlandish by simply reading the synopsis above..EVERYTHING fits into place perfectly to make this a very satisfying read on many levels.  The skillful writing of a man who KNOWS how to write, Jason Ridler, has gained a new and most definately, faithful reader!  Looking forward to Spar's next adventure!A JAMES MASON COMMUNITYBOOK CLUB MUST READRICK FRIEDMANFOUNDERTHE JAMES MASON COMMUNITY BOOK CLUB
