About this title

Synopsis

A fourteen-year-old boy walks into a school with a gun. The trial is swift. The verdict, unanimous. The story should end there.

It doesn't.

Alex Mercer, a former detective hollowed out by loss and a sobriety he doesn't trust, takes the case no one wants reopened. The boy's parents are desperate. The evidence is clean. Too clean. A psychiatrist who treated the shooter is dead within weeks. A teacher who referred him won't open her door. And a senator's name keeps surfacing in places it has no business being.

Mercer pulls at the thread. The thread pulls back.

What begins as a cold investigation becomes something far more dangerous: a conspiracy linking pharmaceutical money, manufactured tragedy, and legislation written in blood. The people behind it have buried journalists, silenced witnesses, and rewritten the narrative before anyone thought to question it.

Mercer is the last person still asking.

They intend to keep it that way.

A slow-burn psychological thriller about grief, corruption, and one man's refusal to look away.
