Ghost Man, Roger Hobbs

In this corker of a debut novel Hobbs introduces us to ‘Jack’ (not his real name) Jack is a Ghostman, he has skills some of us would consider supernatural. He has never seen the inside of a prison because he is too good at his job for that.

Jack has been carrying a Malaysian marker around for the last five years and it’s about to be called in.

Sent to Atlantic City to untangle a casino heist gone sideways, Jack finds the FBI circling and a local crime boss who thinks he owns everything, including Jack. These are merely distractions because Jack’s got less than two days to find the stolen money before the job blows up in his face, literally.
