Johnny Calypso has a problem. Well, a few actually—he's broke, in debt to a sadistic gangster, and the cash he owes just got jacked.

With a big poker game on the line and Hugo Copperpot breathing down his neck, Johnny's running out of time—and luck. Alongside his sharp-tongued new flame, Hot Rhonda, he'll have to hustle through the underbelly of Metropolisville to get the money back, or end up bleeding out in a gutter with a smile carved into his face.

FAT CAT is a fast-talking, high-stakes ride through the dirty streets of America's most dangerous city—another searing entry in the Butcher Boy neo-noir crime anthology.

Also in the Metropolisville series: Gun Smoke, Fender Bender, Sputnik Baby, Pig Killer, and the brutal origin tale—Butcher Boy.
