Mystery
Meet Nick Monday: a private detective who’s more Columbo
than Sam Spade, more Magnum P.I. than Philip Marlowe. As San
Francisco’s infamous luck poacher, Nick doesn’t know whether
his ability to swipe other people’s fortunes with a simple
handshake is a blessing or a curse. Ever since his youth,
Nick has swallowed more than a few bitter truths when it
comes to wheeling and dealing in destinies. Because whether
the highest bidders of Nick’s serendipitous booty are
celebrities, yuppies, or douche bag vegans, the unsavory
fact remains: luck is the most powerful, addictive, and
dangerous drug of them all. And no amount of cappuccinos,
Lucky Charms, or apple fritters can sweeten the notion that
Nick might be exactly what his father once claimed—as
ambitious as a fart. That is, until Tuesday Knight, the curvy brunette who also
happens to be the mayor’s daughter, approaches Nick with an
irresistible offer: $100,000 to retrieve her father’s stolen
luck. Could this high-stakes deal let Nick do right? Or will
kowtowing to another greedmonger’s demands simply fund
Nick’s addiction to corporate coffee bars while his morality
drains down the toilet? Before he downs his next mocha, Nick
finds himself at the mercy of a Chinese mafia kingpin and
with no choice but to scour the city for the purest kind of
luck, a hunt more titillating than softcore porn. All he has
to do to stay ahead of the game is remember that you can’t
take something from someone without eventually paying like
hell for it. . . .
