THE MAN WITH THE PINK SOMBRERO

A darkly comic narco-noir thriller

Some vacations end in lawsuits. Others lose their heads.

Self-help guru Jimmy Myers built a fortune selling one guaranteed rule for success: go all in on red. Red is hot. Red always wins. It didn't.

When followers lost everything, Jimmy fled to Mexico with his family, only to stumble into a cartel-controlled beachfront condo during a bizarre December festival of carved radishes, blood-red rituals, and a deity known as the Red Virgin.

Things go downhill fast.

Suddenly, Jimmy is trapped between a cartel boss he owes a fortune to, an unhinged police chief with a badge and a vendetta, and two hitmen in sombreros: one a towering psychopath, the other a gentle, poetry-writing idealist who desperately wants out.

As bodies pile up, heads reappear in unexpected forms, and Jimmy's so-called foolproof system starts to look like a curse, escape becomes a matter of luck, timing, and one final, dangerous spin of the roulette wheel.

The Man with the Pink Sombrero is a darkly comic narco-noir thriller packed with grotesque humour, bad philosophy, worse people, and the question no self-help book ever answers:

What happens when red isn't hot anymore?

The Man with the Pink Sombrero is not a quiet, sensible crime novel. It's twisted, fast, and gleefully inappropriate.
