Description

The New York Times bestselling multitalented artist delivers an electrifying novel-The Accomplice–that combines the imaginative page-turning suspense of S. A. Cosby’s books with the high-tension thrills of the Netflix blockbuster series Money Heist.

In The Accomplice, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and award-winning mystery writer Aaron Philip Clark introduce readers to New York-born and Texas-bred Nia Adams, who always dreamt of becoming a Texas Ranger. She knows the dangers of the job, and as the first Black female ranger, she knows the politics, but she’s never encountered a criminal like Desmond Bell. A Vietnam vet turned thief, Desmond steals more than money; he steals the secrets of the rich and powerful and blackmails them for millions. When Desmond steals from the Duchamps, the wealthiest family in the country, Nia’s investigation into the robbery threatens to expose him and the criminal enterprise he works for. As the bodies pile up, Nia digs deeper for the truth, putting her life and career in danger. It’s a deadly cat-and-mouse game between ranger and thief, but to protect their family’s secrets, the Duchamps won’t hesitate to kill them both.

Publisher Review

USA TODAY Bestseller! – USA Today

“Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson’s first foray into fiction is a tense, suspenseful event that will keep readers on the edge of their proverbial seats.” – S. A. Cosby, New York Times best-selling author of All the Sinners Bleed

Written with the excellent crime fiction veteran Aaron Philip Clark, Jackson’s first work of adult fiction is an assured, classically rendered effort. Though the twisty ending is wobbly and the novel lacks the depth of Southern gothics by Attica Locke and S.A. Cosby, it has its own special qualities-including a soundtrack in which patriotic Vietnamese hymns get swapped on a karaoke machine for the author’s “P.I.M.P. – Kirkus Reviews

“In rapper 50 Cent’s dynamic fiction debut, Vietnam-vet-turned-thief Desmond Bell breaks into the oldest bank in Texas and steals $2 million in Spanish gold. . . . Hot on Desmond’s heels is Nia Adams, the first Black woman sworn into the Texas Rangers. . . .Much of the taut narrative is dedicated to Nia and Katz’s pursuit of Desmond, which remains gripping all the way to the bang-up finale. . . . Fans of John Wick-style action thrillers will not be disappointed.” – Publishers Weekly

“Music artist, actor, producer, and entrepreneur Jackson’s multitudes of fans will follow him on his first foray into crime fiction.” – Booklist
