A man walks into a bar...his phone rings, he's offered a job. Hard up and unafraid of hard work, he takes it.

Jake Gibb is a man who doesn't let a good opportunity, a craft cocktail or a nice set of legs pass him by.

His boss, Prescott Carmichael, is a financial advisor with some of the city's best and wealthiest names on his client list.

But managing money is the least of their jobs.

Jake's 8 is an episodic novel that spans genres - hard-boiled detective, Wodehousian comedy, classic ghost story all with a light touch.
