Nate Mercer used to be a cop. Now he’s a fixer—paid to clean up trouble for men who don’t believe in mercy. When a ruthless crime boss orders him to find a missing woman, Nate knows the cost of refusal is death.
The problem is Eve Drexler isn’t just a job. She’s a ghost from his past, sharp, dangerous, and wanted for a betrayal that could ignite a bloodbath across the docks.
As one storm-lashed night drags him through crooked bars, fortune tellers, and backroom deals, Nate realizes everyone is playing their own angle—and no one gets out clean.
In this hardboiled noir thriller, desire collides with survival, fate taunts the desperate, and freedom belongs to the one willing to disappear laughing into the dark.
