Joseph Goodness has a talent he never asked for: when angry people are close enough, he can feel what they're about to do.
Most of the time, it only confirms what Joe already knows about the world-that violence is always waiting for someone slower, weaker, or unlucky enough to cross its path. But when he stops a brutal attack inside a Syracuse convenience store, Joe exposes himself and accidentally draws the attention of Hugh Darvish, a celebrated developer whose wealth, influence, and philanthropy have made him untouchable.
Joe knows men like Darvish.
The polished ones are usually the worst.
What begins as suspicion soon turns into obsession as Joe uncovers a hidden network of human trafficking, corruption, and disappearances stretching from Central New York to the Canadian border. With federal agents circling, bodies surfacing, and witnesses vanishing, Joe finds himself pulled into a war against a man protected by money, power, and people willing to kill for him.
But Joe has something Darvish doesn't expect:
He's willing to go further.
As the line between vigilante and witness begins to disappear, Joe must decide what kind of man he is-and how much of himself he's willing to lose to stop someone who believes consequences are for other people.
The Mitigator is a tense, atmospheric thriller about rage, guilt, justice, and the dangerous comfort of believing you're the only one willing to do what has to be done.
