Journalists don't just end up dead. Not without someone making it happen.

FBI Special Agent Domini Walker is off duty when her friend Vivienne Preston—a fearless investigative reporter—answers a call that ends in terror. Panicked shouting. Shattering glass. Then silence. Minutes later, Viv finds her colleague dead in his Chinatown apartment.

The NYPD calls it a break-in gone wrong. Dom calls it what it is: a cover-up.

The victim was chasing a story with teeth—one that rattled the wrong cages. Now Dom is picking up the trail. The leads are murky, Viv is shaken, and someone's keeping tabs on their every move.

With her team at her back—razor-sharp analyst Lea Peck and reclusive genius Mila Pascale—Dom starts pulling threads. What she finds is a network of buried secrets, corporate rot, and power structures built to resist exposure.

The deeper she digs, the more dangerous it gets. And this time, the next target may be someone she can't afford to lose.

A gritty, emotionally charged FBI thriller perfect for fans of Tana French, Sharon Bolton, and listeners who crave sharp characters, dark conspiracies, and justice with teeth.
