An ex-addict is dragged into a high-stakes race for a missing lottery ticket. A gritty, high-heart novel perfect for fans of the Peculiar Crimes Unit series.

All Malachite "Mal" Jones wants is a quiet life as the foremost (fake) psychic medium on the Blades Edge estate.

Enter his new client: Janine, the widow of a man who hid away a huge amount of money. Mal is drawn into a mystery he never asked for in an attempt to help Janine find the cash and escape the estate once and for all.

Problem is, Mal's not the only one hoping to get his hands on the cash. The crime lord of the estate to other criminals are all on the hunt. Plus adding to his worries, there are some corrupt cops after Mal's best and only friend, Jackie.

Aided by Jackie and Beryl, Mal's nosy secretary, Mal sets out to find the cash and a solution that pleases everyone. If he can't, he'll have to pay the price. After all, it's a numbers game...

About the Author
R.J. Dark is the pseudonym of fantasy author R.J. Barker, whose books have won multiple awards and received brilliant reviews and endorsements from big SFF names, including Adrian Tchaikovsky and Robin Hobb.

He lives in Leeds with his wife, son and a collection of questionable taxidermy, odd art, scary music and more books than they have room for. He grew up reading whatever he could get his hands on, and has always been "that one with the book in his pocket". He played in rock bands before deciding he was a rubbish musician. He is a far from rubbish writer.
