Author Oscar J. Atkinson announces the release of his high-stakes political thriller, My Name is Lucky. Set in the year 2029, the novel introduces Luther “Lucky” Anderson, a private detective born with supernatural luck that allows him to solve even the most impossible cases. The story unfolds around a high-profile kidnapping that threatens to disrupt a pivotal mayoral election in Lorain, Ohio. When a teenage girl disappears, Lucky must navigate a web of political conspiracies and a shadowy movement within the United States to rescue her before the polls close.
Atkinson’s novel examines a complex near-future American society, weaving together urgent social and political themes, including widening income inequality and an urban divide in Lorain, where Mayor Pete Smith is accused of prioritizing affluent communities over marginalized populations. It also explores the idea that the desires of a few can control the many, highlighting how powerful elites such as tech billionaires and crime figures shape national outcomes. The novel further raises concerns about surveillance and advanced technology through systems like the Advanced Criminal Tracker System (A.C.T.S.) and Open Sesame AI (OSAI), questioning the balance between public safety and total surveillance. It also exposes systemic corruption, particularly through Deputy Mayor Mike Stevens’ manipulation of criminal networks to secure political influence.
Oscar J. Atkinson creates a world where traditional detective noir merges with speculative fiction. My Name is Lucky is the first installment in a planned series following Luther Anderson, the world’s luckiest private detective.
My Name is Lucky is now available for purchase through major online retailers.
