One dead mob boss. One terrified call girl. One last chance to survive.
Oxsana Nikitina, a high-class Russian escort in Metropolisville, has made the kind of mistake you don’t walk away from-waking up next to the corpse of a powerful Russian mafia boss. With a bloody crime scene and no allies left, she turns to the only man who ever truly knew her: Johan Kruger, her ex-lover and ex-pimp, a hardened former South African special forces soldier.
On the run and out of time, Kruger calls in a war buddy and heads deep into rural Indiana to prepare for the inevitable: a final, brutal showdown with the Eastern European underworld.
SPUTNIK BABY is a savage new entry in this neo-noir crime anthology-where death is always close, and escape is never guaranteed.
Look out for more in the Metropolisville series: Gun Smoke, Fat Cat, Fender Bender, Pig Killer!
Author Biography
James Dargan is the author of over thirty books spanning crime, noir, satire, historical fiction, and literary fiction. Known for razor-sharp dialogue, vivid characters, and a knack for weaving grit with dark humour, his work ranges from the hard-boiled streets of the Napoleon Clancy thrillers to the sprawling crime sagas of The Bayside City series, the evocative Latin American novels, and a host of standalone titles.
Dargan’s novels often drop readers into morally complex worlds where loyalty is fragile, justice is elusive, and survival depends on quick thinking and a little luck. Influenced by the likes of Elmore Leonard, Dennis Lehane, and Cormac McCarthy, his prose balances propulsive storytelling with atmospheric detail, creating stories that are as cinematic as they are immersive.
Whether exploring mob wars and political corruption, the quiet desperation of outsiders, or the chaos of history’s turning points, Dargan writes with an unflinching eye and a storyteller’s instinct for pacing, character, and place. His work is as much about the people caught in the crossfire as it is about the bullets themselves.
