Penn Jillette’s fiction is just as unpredictable as his stage show. Sock, published in 2000, tells its story from the perspective of a sock monkey who belongs to a New York City police officer. It is dark, funny, and unlike most crime fiction you will find.
Random came out more than two decades later and draws on Jillette’s deep familiarity with Las Vegas. Felony Juggler, his 2025 release, is his latest novel. Each book stands on its own with no shared characters or storylines.
