🎉Happy Publication day RJ Dark with the follow up to A Numbers Game, Incy Wincy 🕷

Malachite Jones is a pretend psychic medium and an unwilling detective.

He certainly doesn't want anyone bringing him a missing persons case.

Definitely not two.

When the a body turns up he knows life is only going to get harder.

https://geni.us/IncyWincy

Blades Edge premier gangster, Trolley Mick, owes a favour to a family who’s son, Daniel Jerrings, has vanished. He wants Mal to pay it. Jackie’s friend from the military, Spider, is also missing. And though Jackie doesn’t really do friends, he does do loyalty and that means Mal does too.

But it seems that there are plenty of other people out there looking for Spider, and everything is spiralling down the drain in a wash of designer drugs, UFOs, racists, violent youth gangs and a group of evangelical Americans with their own agenda. Somehow, it all involves a missing teenager but nothing adds up, and violence lurks around every corner.

Discovering the truth means sinking deeper into the grimy world of organised crime where dangerous people have an awful lot to lose, and a way out for Mal and Jackie is getting harder and harder to see.

Incy Wincy picks up where A Numbers Game left off. Gritty, good hearted and laugh out loud funny. Mal and Jackie are back!

🎉Happy Publication Day 🎉to RJ Dark with A Numbers Game - book 1 in the 'Mal & Jackie' series and the debut title on Wavesback.

Thank you to all the bloggers, reviewers, social posters and everyone else who has played a part in Malachite Jones' first adventure in crime.

One dead man and a missing lottery ticket.

Two family members who need that money to get away from the rundown Blades Edge estate.

Three local gangsters who want that money for themselves.

Meet Malachite Jones – the foremost (and only) psychic medium on the gritty Blades Edge estate. All he wants are two things: a name that isn’t ‘Malachite’, and a quiet life. And maybe some real psychic powers, but he’s making a living without them.

Janine Stanbeck wants to find her dead husband Larry’s winning ticket and escape Blades Edge with her son. And she thinks Mal can help her.

But Larry’s dad is the crime lord of the estate, and he wants that ticket for himself, and worse for Mal, he's not the only criminal with his eyes on it. Add in two coppers desperate to nick Mal's best, only, and admittedly quite dangerous, friend, Jackie Singh Khattar, and Blades Edge is getting pretty crowded.

Malachite Jones might not really be able to talk to the dead, but if he and his friend Jackie Singh Khattar can’t find that money and a solution that pleases everyone they’re likely to be in need of a psychic medium themselves.

The first Mal Jones and Jackie Singh Khattar adventure: a chaotic rollercoaster ride through a Yorkshire landscape full of double crossing friends, dogged police, psychotic gangster and voices from the other side.🎉

Why readers LOVE A Numbers Game:

'One of the best books I've read this year … a terrific debut. Great off the wall characters, dark humour, and a plot that kept me guessing to the end. Can't wait for the next book.
Net Galley Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐

'A Numbers Game is so wonderfully gritty and absolutely Northern the soot stains are ingrained on my fingers from turning the pages so fast. Dark is mainlining the same rich seam that Robert Crais does so well, tough, wisecracking and just flat out twisted fun.' Steven Savile - Author of Silver and Parallel Lines.

'A whirlwind of a hard-edged caper novel, with a lovingly bumbling main character in Malachite Jones, backed up by the muscle and streetwise sense of Jackie Singh Khattar … twists and turns … right the way to the very end, it's superbly written.They're a great team. Now we need more of them.'
Chris Nickson – Author

'RJ Dark's first crime novel is a real rollercoaster ride … the most popular books are ones that have characters that we like and care about. Those are the books we read the book until the wee hours of the morning to find out what happens to them next. Mal is one of those characters for me. I had a hard time putting this book down even to take care of essentials like getting some sleep or grabbing a bite. If you like quirky, off the wall mysteries with a diverse cast of characters, there's a ton to like in this book.
Net Galley Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Shameless meets gritty gangland noir in RJ Dark's story of the criminal underbelly in the Wilds of a Yorkshire council estate. I enjoyed his inaugural foray into a fictional Yorkshire gangland immensely. It seems that whatever RJ Dark writes, he spins pure gold.
Net Galley Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'One of RJ Dark's skills (amongst many) is that he writes utterly compelling characters that you cannot help falling in love with. And 'A Numbers Game' is packed full of them … twisty and turny and keeps you guessing right to the very end … I cannot wait to see what Mal & Jackie get embroiled in next?'
Net Galley Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'PG Wodehouse … with bullets.'
Net Galley Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
