FAT CAT & GUN SMOKE, TWO NEO-NOIR CRIME THRILLERS.
TWO BOOKS IN ONE!
Two hardboiled neo-noir crime fiction titles for the PRICE OF FOUR! Fat Cat and Gun Smoke are part of the 'Neo-Noir Crime Thriller' series.
FAT CAT, A NEO-NOIR CRIME THRILLER
Johnny Calypso, broke gambler and small-time crook, has got himself in trouble after the money he borrowed off Hugo Copperpot, a Metropolisville gangster, gets stolen from an associate. Along with his new girl, Hot Rhonda, Calypso has to find a way of getting it back before a big poker game he's got a stake in goes down. If he doesn't, he's going to definitely taste lead and end up food for the fish.
GUN SMOKE, A NEO-NOIR CRIME THRILLER
Jovan 'Joe' Stojkovich is just out of the can, and he's got some catching up to do - twenty years' worth. After returning to his old neighbourhood in Metropolisville, there are only two things on his mind: rekindle the relationship with his younger brother and get revenge on the man whose fault it is he was in prison for more than two decades.
FAT CAT & GUN SMOKE are NEO-NOIR CRIME THRILLERS set in America's most dangerous city, Metropolisville, a place that makes Detroit seem like Disney Land.
Autorentext
James Dargan is the author of over thirty books spanning crime, noir, satire, historical fiction, and literary fiction. Known for razor-sharp dialogue, vivid characters, and a knack for weaving grit with dark humour, his work ranges from the hard-boiled streets of the Napoleon Clancy thrillers to the sprawling crime sagas of The Bayside City series, the evocative Latin American novels, and a host of standalone titles.
Dargan's novels often drop readers into morally complex worlds where loyalty is fragile, justice is elusive, and survival depends on quick thinking and a little luck. Influenced by the likes of Elmore Leonard, Dennis Lehane, and Cormac McCarthy, his prose balances propulsive storytelling with atmospheric detail, creating stories that are as cinematic as they are immersive.
Whether exploring mob wars and political corruption, the quiet desperation of outsiders, or the chaos of history's turning points, Dargan writes with an unflinching eye and a storyteller's instinct for pacing, character, and place. His work is as much about the people caught in the crossfire as it is about the bullets themselves.
