Fortune's Fool

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 and his draco Elvis never far from the trouble. But when a woman from Gideon's past arrives with a second disappearance—this time a high-ranking Corps officer with a long history of antagonizing him—the job takes a darker, more personal turn.

As Gideon digs into both mysteries, the trail leads through Nike City's forgotten corners and into a web of secrets, revenge, and corruption. Someone is counting on the missing staying missing.

Gideon has other ideas.

With lives on the line and ghosts of his past closing in, he'll have to decide how far he's willing to go—and who he's willing to lose—to bring them home.

Welcome to Gideon Quinn & Associates, where the clients are broke, the cases are strange, and coincidence is never just coincidence.

Welcome to Gideon Quinn & Associate's, where the clients are broke, the cases are strange, and coincidences are as dead as Earth.

Fortune's Fool continues The Fortune Chronicles, following Gideon Quinn into his newfound career as a private facilitator—and into a conspiracy tangled with missing persons, old enemies, unlikely allies, and one small draco with opinions.

Perfect for fans of Firefly, The Mandalorian, and science fiction mysteries where unlikely heroes take on powerful enemies.
