Publisher's Synopsis
When Jack accidently set fire to $50,000 belonging to a local gangster, he figured that his day could not possibly get any worse. He was, of course, wrong. It was bad enough that he had been arrested for the brutal slaying of two people he didn't even know, but when the mysterious old man who had liberated him from the police disappeared in the middle of the street, Jack had to admit that his life had become every bit as strange as it was tragic. Things were, however, about to get stranger, and before long, Jack would find himself catapulted into a hidden world of murder and magic, a world ruled by a sinister criminal aristocracy known as "The Numbered." Smart, fast-moving and inventive, 665 takes the reader on a journey where nothing is ever quite as it seems, and where fate is little more than a four-letter word.
