The Castaway Lounge: A Novel

World-weary cocaine dealer, womaniser and tough-guy-for-hire Jackson secretly holds onto hope that one day his life might be different. That hope appears to be dashed forever when a young pole dancer named Peanut ends up dead on his watch at an after-hours party with local businessmen and politicians. Though he wasn’t the one who administered the fatal blow, he was present when the dirty was done, and every powerful man in the city knows it. He must either risk going to prison for a deed he did not do, or win himself powerful enemies by telling the truth.
