J. D. Brink
Publisher: Fugitive Fiction
Summary
Urban fantasy, crime noir, and Asian myth collide in this darkly entertaining novel of stylish mystery and pulp adventure. Jack is a down and out Las Vegas magician. But he never believed in all that hocus pocus anyway. Now he grinds out a living as a smuggler, counterfeiter, and debt collector for a California crime boss. And tries to stay off of everyone else's radar. Unfortunately, keeping a low profile just isn't in the cards for the Jack of Spades. A working vacation to the isle of Saipan turns deadly when eight card-like tiles of ancient origin draw the attention of syndicate enforcers, undercover agents, and mythical forces beyond imagination. "A great pulp noir piece involving casinos, gunfights, and a dash of magic reminiscent of Big Trouble in Little China. Fun, exciting fiction that reads like my favorite movies from the '80s." – Barbarian Book Club The Grit & Shadows Collection: Dark magic, crime noir, and The Twilight Zone had a baby.
