In this darkly comedic modern noir, two sisters navigate resentment, anger, and their complex family history while they try to hustle a dangerous gangster. Fans of Hustlers and A Simple Favor will love this intertwined series of age-old cons playing out in a gritty modern setting.
“Lisa de Nikolits has done it again! Mad Dog and the Sea Dragon is finely crafted modern day noir fiction starring Jessica Wren: a sassy, vintage loving fashionista who works as a janitor by night and dreams big dreams by day. When she becomes a powerful mobster’s mistress, Jessica finds herself thrust into a world that’s as dangerous as it is glamorous. Mad Dog and the Sea Dragon has all of the thrills of your favorite gangster movie (including a tough, gun toting mama to rival Cagney’s mother in White Heat) but with a feminist twist. Tired of being a bird in a gilded cage, Jessica blows the cage wide open in this exciting tale of reinvention and one woman’s quest for independence. The reader will cheer Jessica on every step of the way!”

“Gangster fantasies, a very odd sibling dynamic, dysfunctional families, and a film-noir-tough-talking- molls-and-mobsters vibe all come into play in Mad Dog and the Sea Dragon, a new novel by Lisa de Nikolits that keeps the reader guessing about the next unexpected development. Engrossing, engaging and strongly recommended.”
–Nate Hendley, author of The Beatle Bandit
