A rogue’s gallery of otherworld detectives, undead mafia, and bloodthirsty femme fatales. Gamble for your soul with this compendium of the dark fantastic.
It begins with the novel One-Eyed Jacks…
Jack is an ex-Vegas illusionist turned criminal. He doesn’t believe in magic, even if magic believes in him.
To prevent a mob war, Jack’s boss sends him to a remote Pacific island. A backwater casino at the edge of the map where low lifes lay low. And while he’s on this mandatory vacation, he might as well get some damn work done!
His assignment: smuggle home an oracle of Asian antiquity for a mysterious buyer. Quietly. Keep it simple, keep it easy.
Of course, nothing is ever easy for the Jack of Spades.
A Hong Kong mafia queen, eccentric government agent, and rogue spirits straight out of Chinese myth all want to cash in Jack’s chips.
Can he make the score of the century before he becomes history?
Then deal yourself a hand full of jokers, all grinning with that playful glint of Hell in their eyes…
Eight harrowing bonus stories of edgy urban fantasy, exciting pulp fiction, gritty crime noir, and delicious vampire horror. A menagerie of thrills and chills to sink your teeth into—but be warned, they bite back!
