Synopsis

"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 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 on out of town to cool things off. Just a quick bounce to a remote Pacific island at the edge of reality. There Jack meets a Hong Kong mob queen for a simple trade: Western art for Eastern antiquity. An ancient oracle that supposedly predicted the rise and fall of empires. Both are frauds. 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 a 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.
