Mike Tyson Mysteries

Cormac McCarthy’s latest novel is unfinished and for some reason he turns to Mike Tyson to help him find the ending. But just as Mike settles in to tackle some of that dense, unflinching McCarthy prose, a Chupacabra attacks! Mike puts down the book and puts up his fists.

Someone at a well-known computer company needs Mike Tyson’s help, but when the team arrives at the company headquarters, a highly publicized chess match between one of their supercomputers and Garry Kasparov complicates matters.

Mike is a terrible driver and although each driving incident has been an accident, he’s killed a lot of people. But when he discovers almost all the victims were astronauts, Mike decides there’s only one logical explanation: He must be part of a secret government plot to kill astronauts, because of something they saw on the moon, something the government doesn’t want us to know! Before giving this theory a second thought, Mike steals a rocket and blasts off for the moon. In the end, Mike learns from his auto insurer that he hasn’t been killing astronauts after all. It was a clerical error and most of the deaths were astronomers. And there can’t be a secret government plot to kill astronomers, right?

When an old wizard seems to have lost faith in the existence of magic, Mike thinks he can prove him wrong — if he can just find a leprechaun he met years ago, one night at a bar. Along the way, Mike manages to beat up an illusionist and an actor, in separate incidents. In the end, Mike learns you don’t need to find a leprechaun, because there’s a leprechaun inside of us all.

When Mike learns that the itchy bites all over his body are likely from “bird mites,” he reluctantly tells Pigeon he has to move out. Pigeon doesn’t take it well and Mike goes from feeling bad to worse when he wakes up the next day with more bites and realizes Pigeon wasn’t to blame. Pigeon, come back!

A Chinese businessman is attempting to dig the world’s largest canal through Nicaragua and needs Mike’s help to win the hearts and minds of the jungle dwellers who are against the project. But could Mike and the gang be on the wrong side?

When Pigeon can’t pay off a gambling debt, a gangster takes Mike’s daughter, Yung Hee, as collateral. Can Pigeon and Marquess get her back before Mike, who is in Ohio giving a commencement speech, finds out she is missing? Also, why is Mike in Ohio giving a commencement speech?!

Mike and the gang are plunged into the terrifying world of real estate, when Gary and Caitlin, a couple relocating to Phoenix, asks for help in choosing a house. Will they choose the ranch-style home, the one with the big yard or the one where a bunch of murders took place?

When Mike and the gang try to solve the mystery of why a likeable guy named Andrew can never get a second date, Yung Hee discovers the hard way that it’s probably because he’s a werewolf. She makes it home alive, but will she stay that way once that the gang becomes convinced that she might now be a werewolf herself? And why does Mike Tyson have a drawer full of silver bullets? Run, Yung, run!

Mike and the gang take on the most dangerous mystery yet — a murder mystery! But this is no “Who killed Dr. Ensler in the study?” kind of murder mystery (although it does concern a Dr. Ensler who was killed in the study). This is the kind of murder they call the FBI in for. This is Silence of the Lambs stuff, like dismemberment. But no amount of not being qualified to investigate a murder will stop Mike Tyson. And because “life happens while you’re busy investigating a murder,” Mike must contend with his agent and business manager competing for his attention.
