Bad Karma

A priceless relic. A framed friend. To save them both, San Francisco’s favorite con man has to play the ultimate game.


He’s trying so hard to be good. But being bad just comes so naturally. The high-stakes, hilarious second installment of the Jack McCoul Capers.


“Loaded with one liners. Keeps the plot turning.” — Kirkus Reviews


Recovering con artist Jack McCoul is finally ready to walk the straight and narrow. His grand plan? Launching a legitimate San Francisco tech startup. But just as he’s settling into his new life, his past comes roaring back with a vengeance.


When a former partner-in-crime executes a reckless heist to snatch a priceless statue, Jack is violently dragged into a twisted murder investigation. The primary suspect? His wife’s best friend. With hired killers closing in and a bullseye on his back, Jack realizes that playing by the rules is a one-way ticket to the morgue. To clear an innocent woman's name and keep himself breathing, he has to dust off his old playbook.


Rounding up a crew of eccentric, fiercely loyal misfits as quirky as the City by the Bay itself, Jack orchestrates a daring, dangerous counter-con. The stakes are lethal, the killers are ruthless, and for Jack McCoul... it is game on.
