Jack is hired by Tony Twofingers to investigate Tony's daughter, Whinnie, whose saxophone performances make Jack hallucinate.

Thank you, John Franz, for gifting me a copy of your book! The premise alone is captivating, but it’s the execution - chaotic and strangely poetic - that makes this surreal novel stand out. For fans of the dark and twisted, you’ll want to grab a copy of this sci-fi/fantasy/horror book that is a pulsing symphony of chaos and hypnotic storytelling.
Junkie Jack read like an old 50s pulp noir story. It has a great main character and takes place in a world that I definitely want to read more about. It has some sci-fi and fantasy elements that really work for this story and the world Jack lives in. I really hope I get to read more about Jack because I have a feeling he has more stories to tell.
Overall a very fun read, so much that I read it all in one sitting.
