A tense, addictive psychological thriller about a Manhattan couple whose lives implode after one secret date goes horribly wrong.

Perfect for fans of Lisa Unger, Harlan Coben, and Mark Edwards.

ONE NIGHT. ONE DATE. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE?

Jack and Maria Harper live in a claustrophobic Manhattan apartment with their eight-year-old son, Jonah. Jack has quit booze, but his music career has stalled, and his real estate career isn’t going much better. Maria’s thriving at her corporate job, but her frequent travel strains their already fragile marriage. They love their son, but beyond that, they’re barely holding on.

When a former bandmate tells Jack about a new extramarital dating app, he downloads it on a whim…and quickly connects with the mysterious, seductive Sophia. Their online affair escalates fast, and when they finally arrange to meet in person, Jack steps into a trap that will shatter everything he thought he knew about marriage, loyalty, and survival.

What begins as a secret date becomes a sinister scheme, one that may cost him his freedom…and his life.

A dark psychological crime novel by Jason Starr

There’s more than one way to lose everything at the track.

Tommy Russo is a New York City bouncer with bigger dreams and a dangerous appetite for risk. When he’s offered a chance to join a horse-owning syndicate, it feels like his ticket out of obscurity.

There’s just one problem: the buy-in is $10,000—money he doesn’t have.

What starts as a harmless lie spirals into obsession, betrayal, and violence as Tommy crosses line after line, convinced that one big score will fix everything. Instead, each decision tightens the trap, pulling him deeper into a nightmare of guilt, desperation, and self-destruction.

FAKE I.D. is a gritty psychological crime thriller about ambition, identity, and the seductive pull of shortcuts—the kind that ruin lives.

Dark, compulsively readable, and morally ruthless, this novel will appeal to readers of:

Jim Thompson

Patricia Highsmith

Dennis Lehane

Chuck Palahniuk

Don Winslow

Gillian Flynn’s darker psychological edge

“Jason Starr is the link between Richard Prather and Albert Camus… It’s almost impossible to do Fake I.D. its proper justice.”

“An American masterpiece — great literature and a great crime novel.”

— Pulpetti

“A fine example of the tough stuff… I love it.”
