Relentless as a Texas Death-Match, GOON is a no-holds-barred festival of body slams; an insatiable orgy of pile-drivers and sexual grotesqueries, of neck-breakers, drop-kicks, and more blood and guts than a fish-market floor...

Six-foot-9 and 400 pounds, hailing from Parts Unknown, he is the one-man walking gore machine of the Deep South Wrestling Conference, and his name is Goon.

But Detective Phillip Straker isn't a wrestling fan. The bodies pile up like dirty laundry: sex-obsessed tramps used as playthings by some unspeakable creature. Straker is determined to solve the rash of mutilation murders with trimmings that beg description. Is it just coincidence, or do all the victims have something in common?

Investigative reporter Melinda Pierce will do anything to find out, by offering herself up as a sexual spittoon in order to infiltrate the arcane and lust-drenched warrens of the backstage of professional wrestling. There in malodorous locker rooms and unsavory motels, she partakes in carnal forays so gross, so downright nasty they'd make a porn star puke.

Goon, this human juggernaut, this masked rack of guts, muscle and mayhem... Is Goon just a wrestler gone insane? Or is he something hideously worse?

"GOON is truly funny and truly nasty with a literally kick-ass woman, and a formidable villain, and written as if S. Clay Wilson had turned in his pens and easels for a typewriter. Sex and violence fans pounce! These two guys are masters of the gross-out."

"GOON is one of those tales that grabs you by the testicles, bounces you head-first down the stairs, then laughingly tosses you into the gutter. An outrageous version of the new 'noirotica,' GOON will turn you on even as Lee and Pelan are busting a gut gleefully turning your stomach."

"Serial murder, the occult, hillbillies, erotica, a malevolent human destruction machine, a mysterious statuesque blonde bombshell... all set against a backdrop of the behind-the-scenes world of professional wrestling. "Goon" has it all-just don't read it during intermission the next time the WWF comes to an arena near you! What would you get if you tossed the WWF and the "X-Files" in a blender, aside from way too many capital letters? "Goon". As a lifelong student of the grappling game, it captures the seamy underbelly of the pro wresting lifestyle like nothing else I've ever read. It ain't all little Hulksters, apple pie and cleancut superheroes, folks; "Goon" cleverly delivers all the dirt that the fans aren't privy to. I give it a rarely awarded Chokehold AEIOUY! Pelan and Lee demonstrate a profound understanding of the REAL action in wrestling - what goes on outside the ring. To be able to not only explain this bizarre little microcosm, as well as use it as the setting for a supernatural crime thriller is quite an accomplishment."
