Rush has achieved the kind of critical and commercial success most authors only dream about: He has a top agent and publisher in New York, and his twenty-eight mystery novels have sold millions of copies. Only Stephen King, one of the few mystery writers whose fame exceeds his own, is capable of inspiring a twinge of envy in Rush. But Rush is hiding a dark secret. Under the pseudonym \"Jack of Spades,\" he pens another string of novels--noir thrillers that are violent, lurid, masochistic. These are novels that the upstanding Rush wouldn't be caught reading, let alone writing. When his daughter comes across a Jack of Spades novel he has carelessly left out, she picks it up and begins to ask questions. Meanwhile, Rush receives a court summons in the mail explaining that a local woman has accused him of plagiarizing her own self-published fiction. Before long, Rush's reputation, career, and family life all come under threat--and in his mind he begins to hear the taunting voice of the Jack of Spades.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Mysterious Press","offers":[{"title":"Jack of Spades: A Tale of Suspense | Joyce Carol Oates | Hardcover | 9780802123947 | Used: Like New | Suspense \u0026 Thriller 1639949","offer_id":50706264129794,"sku":"1639949","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/61OAumfyIpL.jpg?v=1791666805","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/jack-of-spades-a-tale-of-suspense","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
