You can run from the past.
But it never stops hunting you.
Lewis escaped Glasgow years ago - the violence, the silence, the nights that carved him hollow.
Then a message arrives from nowhere:
WE KNOW.......
Dragged back into a situation where the city that remembers every sin, Lewis is forced to confront a history he buried to survive. Therapy is supposed to help him breathe again. Instead, it opens doors he swore would stay locked forever.
Karlin, his counsellor, recognises the look in his eyes - the one that belongs to people who've lived too long with ghosts. As her own past threatens to surface, the line between healer and human begins to fracture.
Then Doodle vanishes.
Taken by a ruthless network that trades in pain and silence, her captors make their demand
What follows is a race into the darkest systems beneath the city:
Encrypted networks.
Burner phones.
Crypto in the shadows.
Men who never leave a name.
Carson - a disgraced financier with blood on his hands and guilt in his veins - is pulled into a fight he knows he may not survive. Together they trace a digital trail across continents, chasing a woman through code before her time runs out.
The Dark Mile is not just a thriller.
It is a descent into trauma, loyalty and the cost of rescuing another human being when you barely want to save yourself.
A story about:
the scars we hide
the debts we carry
the people we'd burn the world to protect
and the truth we pray never finds us
Perfect for readers who love dark psychological fiction, emotional crime thrillers and stories that refuse to blink first.
Some streets don't let you leave.
They wait... until you come back broken enough to face them.
