Two missing persons. One haunted investigator. No such thing as coincidence.
Fresh off launching Nike City's first private facilitating agency, Gideon Quinn hasn't even hung a sign before a friend from Lower Cadbury begs for help. Several of the district's most vulnerable squatters have gone missing?and no one else is looking.
Gideon takes the case, with his apprentice Mia tagging along for a crash course in fieldwork. But when a woman from his past appears with a second disappearance?this time a high-ranking Corps officer with a long history of antagonizing Gideon?the job takes a darker, more personal turn.
As he digs into both mysteries, Gideon uncovers a tangled web of secrets, revenge, and corruption that reaches deeper than he ever imagined. With lives on the line and ghosts of his past closing in, Gideon must decide how far he's willing to go?and who he's willing to lose?to bring the missing home.
Welcome to Gideon Quinn & Associate's, where the clients are broke, the cases are strange, and coincidence is never just coincidence.

Klappentext
In the distant future, on the planet Fortune, tech is low and times are hard… especially for those living in Nike's slums.
Gideon Quinn has barely set up shop as Nike's-and Fortune's-only private facilitator when an idealistic young medic reports several patients have gone missing.
Gideon takes the case, and soon finds himself tangled in a cruel enterprise fueled by greed and vengeance that targets the most vulnerable of Nike's population. And the investigation only grows more complex when a woman from Gideon's past appears at his door with a missing person of her own.
Now Gideon is faced with a bitter question: To save the people no one else cares about, will he be able to bring home a man he'd as soon see vanished from the face of Fortune?
FORTUNE'S FOOL is the second Gideon Quinn Adventure, a future fantasy mashup of steampunk, action, and noir. If you like action, down-at-heels heroes and comic banter, you'll love the world of Fortune.
