Overview


Daniel Miller traded war zones for city streets, finding anonymity among the homeless—until he witnesses the execution of a city official that makes him a marked man. The killers wear expensive suits, carry badges, and have the police force in their pocket. Now Daniel is running from both the police and criminals, with only a church pastor and a relentless reporter standing between him and certain death. As Detective Martinez uncovers layers of corruption surrounding a multi-million-dollar police training center, bodies start dropping and witnesses disappear. With time running out and killers closing in, Daniel must decide—stay hidden and survive or step out of the shadows and risk everything to expose a truth that could tear the city apart. In this explosive thriller where justice wears a price tag and loyalty can be bought, redemption may cost more than any of them are willing to pay.

Description


In a city where corruption casts long shadows, one man's quest for redemption becomes a war for justice. Daniel Miller—decorated veteran, now homeless—witnesses a murder that exposes a web of corruption reaching from street corners to city hall. The victim: a prominent city official who dared to stand against the tide of greed. The killers: men who wear both designer suits and police badges. Hunted by assassins and branded a fugitive, Daniel finds unlikely sanctuary in a small church led by Pastor Sarah Lawson, a former military chaplain with demons of her own. Together with Harold Wright, a relentless investigative reporter, they uncover a conspiracy that threatens to swallow their city whole: a massive police training center project that serves as a fortress of corruption. Detective Martinez wants to believe in justice, but when his partner pays the ultimate price for asking the wrong questions, he must decide where his true loyalties lie. As the body count rises and time runs out, these unlikely allies race to expose the truth before they become the next victims. In this gritty tale of power, redemption, and courage, the line between predator and prey blurs with every shadow. Sometimes the only way out of darkness is to go through it, and the only path to redemption lies beneath the shadows.
