When a night of whiskey and a chance encounter with a striking red-haired lady turns into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse, former Special Forces operative-turned-PI, Colonel Michael Rose discovers that the murder of a Mississippi banker is only the tip of a sprawling, multi-state conspiracy. Jackson, Mississippi, home to glittering high-rise towers, quiet reservoirs, and a network of offshore accounts that funnel millions through shell companies, corrupt lobbyists, and a shadowy fixer. After a routine traffic stop leads Rose back to the scene of the crime, he is thrust into a labyrinth of blackmail, political intrigue, and ruthless enforcers. With the help of a determined attorney, a terrified bank auditor, an intrepid reporter, and an old army comrade on the police force, Rose follows a trail of cryptic flash drives and mysterious envelopes. From bars in downtown to the sterile corridors of the FBI, from the opulent boardrooms of Capital Resources to a deserted cabin, Rose races against time to expose a hidden empire of money-laundering, murder contracts, and political pay-offs before the very people who built it can erase every trace, and before they silence the next witness. The stakes are personal. The danger is systemic. And the truth, once uncovered, will change Jackson, Mississippi forever. A relentless, gritty thriller that pulls you into the murky underbelly of Southern power politics. Michael Rose is a PI you can't help rooting for. - Crime Fiction Review The author captures the smell of rain on the reservoir, the clink of a whiskey glass, and the cold click of a server rack with equal skill. An unforgettable ride. - The New York Noir Review Dominating in noir genre, each twist lands with the force of a Glock blast, and the characters feel as lived-in as the streets of Jackson. - Mystery & Thriller Quarterly A gritty, razor-sharp noir that pulls you into Jackson's darkest alleys and refuses to let go. - Hardboiled Horizons A masterclass in suspense, unforgettable characters, and a conspiracy that spirals from the local bar to the halls of power. - Mid-South Literary Journal
