A wisecracking former LAPD Detective has his life shattered, his wife murdered, narrowly escaping the wrath of a ruthless gangster.

What started off as mistaken identity becomes personal, when Colin Graves sets a plan into motion; a quest for vengeance.

Fueled by booze, painkillers, acerbic wit, Colin teams up with his brother to take down the man that took away everything. It's like John Wick meets Beaches with a twist of Taken 3 and a splash of Deadpool.

With a cast of characters, running the gamut from struggling actors to albino henchman, a pedophile, a serial killer, the Russian Mob, and the Yakuza, this melting pot sets a tone complimented by the backdrop only Los Angeles can provide.

Twists, turns, reversals.

Blood, guts, violence.

Pop culture references, hilarity, hyperbole.

It's a clever read for accomplished readers but also a fun ride for nitwits. Influenced by the films of Quentin Tarantino, the writing of Raymond Chandler, James Ellroy, Elmore Leonard, and Dr. Seuss, Three Graves hits harder than Mike Tyson with more heart than Secretariat.
