Adventures of a Dark Duke: The Pin is a modern‑day pulp‑fiction affair featuring a British indie pop star who lives a secret life as an adventurer. Looking for material for new songs, he sticks a pin in a map and follows it religiously to have the adventure of a lifetime, with Florida, Cuba and Mexico making up the colourful backdrop. From danger with a stranger to a poignant love story to a hidden Hollywood A‑list sect, he likes to live an erotic and exotic lifestyle, and life on the edge is what it’s all about. But he also craves love and romance, always causing him something of a dilemma.The book has a Russian‑doll effect, with stories within stories that contain many twists and turns. It’s full of sharply drawn characters who often have a unique way with words. It is often told in the first‑person narrative, making it feel like virtual reality for books. Rumour has it that it may also be based on a true story.This is the first in the Adventures of a Dark Duke series of fiction books from author and multi‑platform artist Russell C. Brennan. A number of film companies are looking to make this book into a film, so get in the know before the film and read the book version first, which may contain things that will not be in the film.
