When Declan O'Neill's brother takes his own life, the Russian mafia come calling-demanding to know what happened to the hundred thousand pounds stolen from them. Fearing for his life, nineteen-year-old Declan flees England for New York City, desperate for a clean start.
But the past has a long reach.
Alone in Manhattan, Declan is unprepared for the city's unforgiving streets. He's dragged into a knife fight, beaten by police, and hunted by the same Russian gang who believe he knows more than he's saying. Yet through hardship he finds steady work, loyal friends, and a young woman whose love gives him hope for redemption.
When she confesses a devastating secret, Declan must face a choice that will define him-one that tests his belief in love, humanity, and his own limits.
Brutal Disclosure is a gritty coming-of-age thriller about survival, loyalty, and the moment a young man discovers what he's truly capable of.
Winner of the 2025 Literary Titan Best of the Best Gold Star Award.
