About this title

Synopsis

Inspector Victoria Rhodes is one of the last clean cops left on San Francisco’s crumbling police force. Long hours and a city on the brink of collapse have worn her down—but nothing prepares her for the double murder in Atlantis, the exclusive covenant community built for the wealthy elite.

The victims: Public Prosecutor Katherine Radcliffe—brilliant, ambitious, and the face of a fragile hope for reconciliation between the private stronghold of Atlantis and the decaying city beyond—and Radcliffe’s forbidden lover, a corporate psychologist with ties to Atlantis’s ruling security force.

Assigned as liaison between the SFPD and the powerful Atlantis Security & Management (ASM), Rhodes finds herself navigating a case that exposes the raw fault lines of class, corruption, and control. Every lead points upward—toward the man who built Atlantis out of ruin: a mercenary turned corporate messiah, known only as Atlas.

The deeper Rhodes digs, the more Atlas’s carefully guarded past begins to mirror her own. To solve the case, she must confront a man she cannot fully understand, a suspect she cannot ignore, and a truth that could destroy what little remains of the city she’s sworn to protect.

In Atlas, the first book of the Atlas Trilogy, noir-drenched mystery collides with dystopian future politics, pulling readers into a relentless story of murder, power, and the blurred line between justice and survival.
