Karma Doll

After narrowly escaping with his life at the hands of a murderous Hollywood pimp, detective Happy Doll, bullet-ridden but healing, has landed on a remote Mexican beach. In a humble shack and with his dog for company, Doll settles into a peaceful idyll of Buddhist study. But then trouble, as it always does, comes to paradise.

Doll is the witness to a murder for which he is framed, and now, with an expired passport and the Mexican authorities on his tail, he must sneak across the border back to L.A. by any means necessary, with the goal of bringing the true murderer to justice.

But it's not just trouble that expels Doll from paradise! His dark past reaches for him, like a hand from the grave; old enemies want him dead, including the Jalisco Cartel. Doll, a reluctant instrument of mayhem, yearns to end this cycle of violence and tip the karmic scales in his favour. But how can he do this without getting blood on his hands?

Karma Doll unfolds as a riveting journey through chaos and redemption, with riveting twists and a dark humour that only Jonathan Ames can deliver, setting the stage for Doll's gripping adventure.
