SOME MEN RUN FROM TROUBLE. MIKE CANADA DRIVES STRAIGHT INTO IT.
Mike Canada is old-school to the bone-a former United States Marine, a survivor, and the kind of man who believes loyalty isn't something you talk about. It's something you prove.
So when a desperate phone call tells him that his lifelong friend and brother-in-arms, Melvin Thompson, has vanished without a trace, Mike leaves Madison, Wisconsin, and heads straight for the frozen streets of Saginaw, Michigan.
He expects to find his brother.
Instead, he finds a city with secrets.
The deeper Mike digs, the more dangerous the questions become. A dying cop. A mysterious notebook. A beautiful woman named Keoni. Corrupt cops. Ruthless street soldiers. Drugs. Guns. Bodies. And one name that seems to inspire fear everywhere Mike turns:
Johnny Scarvini.
Scarvini isn't just another gangster. He is a shadow-a mysterious crime boss whose organization appears to reach into everything and everyone. Nobody seems to know exactly where he is. Nobody wants to talk about him. And the people who get too close to the truth have a nasty habit of disappearing.
But Scarvini has never dealt with Mike Canada.
Mike doesn't scare easily.
He doesn't back down.
And he has absolutely no intention of going home without Melvin.
As his investigation explodes into an increasingly violent war, Mike finds himself battling an enemy whose reach is greater than he imagined. Every clue pulls him deeper into a world of deception, betrayal, seduction, corruption, and murder, where friends may be enemies, lovers may have secrets, and trusting the wrong person can get you killed.
Then there is Keoni.
Beautiful. Mysterious. Street-smart. And suddenly caught in the middle of a war she never asked for.
What begins as a dangerous encounter between two strangers develops into something neither of them expected, forcing Mike to confront an uncomfortable truth: the man who has spent his life depending on instinct, strength, and cold steel may finally have something more than his own life to lose.
But finding Melvin is only the beginning.
Because somewhere beneath the violence lies a truth so explosive that Mike may wish he'd never started looking.
In a city where everybody has a price, everybody has a secret-and somebody has been lying from the very beginning.
Raw, unapologetic, violent, provocative, darkly humorous, and loaded with unexpected twists, MIKE CANADA: COLDBLOODED is an old-school urban crime thriller that plunges readers into a brutal underworld where loyalty is tested in blood and survival belongs to the person willing to go further than everyone else.
Author Demetric Canada delivers a hard-edged crime drama filled with street politics, dangerous relationships, organized crime, betrayal, revenge, romance, gunfire, and a central mystery that keeps changing the rules.
Mike Canada came to Saginaw looking for his brother.
Before it's over, he'll discover that finding the truth may be far more dangerous than finding the enemy.
For readers who enjoy gritty urban crime fiction, gangster thrillers, organized-crime dramas, morally complicated antiheroes, shocking betrayals, and explosive plot twists.
The streets know the name Scarvini.
They're about to learn the name Mike Canada.
