TAMPA, Fla. - Feb. 8, 2019 - s4story -- Down & Out Books is pleased to announce that MAIN BAD GUY, the third and final entry in the Love & Bullets Hookup trilogy by Nick Kolakowski, is now available from its imprint Shotgun Honey in trade paperback and ebook formats.

About MAIN BAD GUY …

Bill and Fiona, the lovable anti-heroes of the "Love & Bullets" trilogy, find themselves in the toughest of tough spots: badly wounded, hunted by assorted cops and goons, and desperately in need of a drink (or five).

After a round-the-world tour of spectacular criminality, Bill and Fiona find themselves back in New York. But it's not exactly home-sweet-home: Locked in a panic room on the top floor of a skyscraper, surrounded by pretty much everyone in three zip codes who wants to kill them, they'll need to figure out how to stay upright and breathing… and maybe deal out a little payback in the process.

Can they survive?

Even better, can they make a profit off all this?

Main Bad Guy caps a series described as "a Tarantino movie in prose" (Sons of Spade) and "deliciously deranged" (Raven Crime Reads).

Advance praise for MAIN BAD GUY …

"It's no surprise that Nick Kolakowski brought the heat with his latest novel Main Bad Guy. The surprise is that you won't know which landed harder: His stripped-down, hard-boiled prose, the explosive dialogue, or the wickedly insane and diabolical humor. Grab hold of this one with both hands and hold on tight." —Eryk Pruitt, author of Townies and What We Reckon
