Mystery

Twenty-six-year-old bodybuilder Gunter Hoffman sports enormous muscles to keep at bay nightmares of his childhood nemesis, a menacing homeless guy with PTSD known as Detour Man. But even with a body that’s six feet in all directions, Gunter’s afraid of people—and lonely. 

When Gunter seeks out a girlfriend—and finds one—she’s like all the rest: more curious about his bulging biceps than him, thinking his size provides an invincible shield to ridicule. But Gunter’s mentally fragile. When she ends up dead from a broken neck, the cops seek a murderer with immense strength, just like Gunter. 

Private investigator Vinnie Briggs doesn’t want to get involved in Gunter’s problems—but to please his husband he must. He’s even less pleased mounting a murder defense, which defies standard procedure. Vinnie and his co-investigator, the woman’s fitness champion Rita Light, commit crimes and lie, and Rita employs her specialty: martial arts sex. They take risks that endanger innocent lives only to learn vindication has a high price.
