Split City Summary

Split City: A Jesus Spares Mystery by Andy Straka

The Yada Yada Prayer Group meets The Big Lebowski in this entertaining series.

Murder sees double when former pro bowler Billy Gills finds himself summoned to the Partridgeberry County morgue to identify the body of his identical twin brother Bo. Billy is the proprietor of Split City Lanes, a classic hometown bowling alley, located in the charmingly rundown, lakeside town of Twin Strikes. Partridgeberry and Twin Strikes are peopled by a hearty band of oddball characters-an unlikely setting for murder. But Bo is the founder of TreadBo, a successful specialty bowling shoe manufacturer; he is famous for his quirky sense of fashion, fitness fanaticism, and unusual hobbies, which may have gotten him into trouble. Not to mention, Billy has some demons of his own to slay. Fortunately, Split City Lanes is also home to Jesus Spares, a church service, bowling, and social gathering where almost anything can happen.

Billy may need every ounce of faith he has to discover the truth about himself and his eccentric twin brother.

Split City Reviews

Split City is a contemporary Christian mystery set in the Catskills and tells of an ex-pro bowler and owner of bowling alley Split City Lanes, Billy Gills, who is charged with identifying his twin brother Bo at a morgue. From there, he becomes determined to uncover the truth about his brother's life...In the typical whodunit mystery environment, investigators are supported by a cast of friends and professionals who augment their abilities. Here, Billy is drawn to investigate the Christian community, powered by the Jesus Spares church service environment. This spiritual component to the investigative process will delight Christian readers who enjoy mysteries and social examinations that move into religious realms-a relatively rare combination...Split City creates a powerful story of bowling, adversity, small-town politics, and Billy's search for truth and community. Its blend of mystery and social inspection will delight readers seeking solid psychological stories of self and community ties, tempered by surprising twists and turns.
