Distressed debt analysis examples

Hi - does anyone have a good source on sample writeups of distressed debt investment ideas? I am in a unique situation but I'd like to try to teach myself how to do distressed investment analysis (I work in a legal capacity right now on the periphery and I deal with distressed funds on a regular basis but focus on legal docs). I would ultimately like to move to an analyst role, or at least a role where I am generating and evaluating trade ideas, and am looking for a place to start. I've read the Moyer book, but probably need to read up on that again - any resources would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I know, I know. I have googled, but I was thinking more along the lines of a formal writeup that an analyst would put together at a fund. I have looked at the Distressed Investors Club website and those writeups are pretty short. Just looking for actual examples of what the product of investment analysis would be at a fund, but I get why those are not widely available.
