"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
He's an ex-magician turned criminal who never believed in magic. But when Fate deals him a new hand, all bets are off.
Jack is a jaded former illusionist who turned his back on the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas. Now a cunning criminal, he shuffles in smuggling jobs and counterfeit art between stiff drinks and a half-assed search for greater purpose.
When a collection job goes sideways, his boss sends him out of town to cool things off. Just a quick bounce to a remote Pacific island at the edge of the map. There Jack meets a Hong Kong mafia queen for a simple trade: Western art for Eastern antiquity. An ancient oracle that supposedly predicted the rise and fall of empires. But there is no such thing, right?
Soon a beautiful casino girl, rival mobsters, and fearsome spirits straight out of Chinese myth all want to cash in Jack's chips.
With the mystical deck stacked against him, can this Sin City escape artist make it out alive?
One-Eyed Jacks is a wildly fun noir fantasy crime novel. If you like gritty and flawed heroes, pulp fiction-style mystery, and a twist of dark wit, then you'll love J. D. Brink's dragon-sized adventure.
