| Publisher Description: From the critically acclaimed author of Fated and Breathers comes "a fast-paced adventure that succeeds as both a hard-boiled homage and a paranormal romp" (Publishers Weekly, starred review and Pick of the Week). Meet Nick Monday, a San Francisco P.I. who was born with a unique talent: the ability to steal other people's luck. All it takes is a handshake and Nick walks away with their good fortune, which he then sells on the black market. But wheeling and dealing in destinies involves more than just eating Lucky Charms, and lately, Nick's own fortunes have taken a turn for the worse. That is until Tuesday Knight, a curvy brunette with an irresistible offer, walks into his office. Tuesday is willing to pay Nick $100,000 to retrieve her father's stolen luck. That's a lot of corporate cappuccinos, even for a caffeine addict like Nick. Problem is, Tuesday's dad is also the city mayor, the feds are turning up the heat, and a Chinatown crime lord is holding all the fortune cookies--most of them bad. Throw in a couple of femmes fatales, a douche bag vegan, and a mysterious albino luck poacher, and it all adds up to one inescapable truth: you can't take something from someone for nothing without eventually paying like hell for it. . . . |
