Dead Men Don't Cash Checks4/5/2025 ![]() Here's the book description as it appears on Amazon: In JR Johnson’s world, trust is a liability—and he’s done pretending otherwise. A razor-sharp blend of dark humor, espionage, and psychological suspense. After losing $1.5 billion, a chunk of his sanity, and maybe his marriage (it's a little unclear), JR is laying low in Austin, Texas—watching squirrels trip his security cameras and wondering how to get his fortune back. Not to buy a yacht. He wants to give it away—to fund a cutting-edge brain surgery center at Johns Hopkins, where all three of his siblings just happen to work. Ulterior motives? Absolutely. Altruism, with an asterisk. Then the U.S. government shows up with an offer: one job, huge payout, sounds too good to be true. JR’s internal alarm bells start clanging immediately. He doesn’t believe in clean deals, honest motives, or mutual trust. But he says yes—partly because it beats doomscrolling and lonely tacos, and partly because of a recent, unsettling realization: he liked killing the people who tried to kill him. And this job? It might offer the chance to keep that new hobby going. But if he plays this wrong, he won’t just fail—he’ll be discredited...or dead. Dead Men Don’t Cash Checks is a darkly funny, paranoid, and unexpectedly heartfelt thriller about trust, betrayal, and the quiet thrill of doing the right thing… for all the wrong reasons. For fans of smart antiheroes, twisted plots, and gallows humor with a side of Dr. Pepper. Book One in a new series about loyalty, lies, and what happens when trusting anyone feels like the biggest risk of all. Perfect for readers of Barry Eisler, Nick Harkaway, Don Winslow, or early Greg Rucka. to order click below: www.amazon.com/dp/B0F3TT394W
