Jack Wakes Up

What does a movie-star one-hit-wonder and ex-drug-addict do when he’s cleaned up, down on his luck, and running out of money?

In the three years since Jack Palms went clean no drugs, no drinking, no life? He’s added fourteen pounds of muscle, read 83 books, and played it as straight as anyone can ask him. Now, when an old friend from L.A. calls, he hits the streets of San Francisco to help a group of Czech drug buyers make one big score, a single drug deal that he hopes will set him up for life.

But when people start turning up dead, and an old nemesis on the police force calls, Jack finds himself with just 24 hours to track down San Francisco’s biggest drug supplier or face charges that will put him behind bars.

Only an Oscar-caliber performance will get him through this alive.

“Harwood sucker-punches crime fiction. It’s not a fair fight, he’s waiting for you to look the other way, then you get a blackjack in the back of the head. Then he kicks you in the nuts, and you actually thank him for it.”

– Scott Sigler, bestselling author of ANCESTOR and INFECTED

“JACK WAKES UP isn’t a novel — it’s a force of nature. Harwood’s writing brilliantly blends the brass-knuckled voice of Raymond Chandler with the slick plot twists of Jeffrey Deaver. This story goes for the throat, pulling the reader into a California underworld so seamy and believable, it’s a wonder that Jack Palms, Harwood’s unlikely hero, is a fictional character at all. Rock-solid crime noir that takes no prisoners.”

– J.C. Hutchins, author of 7th SON: DESCENT
