Blurb

A dead agent. A missing weapon. And a past that won’t stay buried.

Dave Baxley thought he could keep trouble at arm’s length. He was wrong.

What starts as a routine case quickly turns into something far more dangerous—blackmail, deception, and a past that refuses to stay buried.

When a long-lost agent resurfaces and a deadly weapon enters the game, Baxley finds himself caught between mobsters, spies, and people he can’t trust. Every step pulls him deeper into a web where the rules keep changing—and the stakes keep rising.

In this game, Baxley may just be a pawn.

But pawns have a habit of changing everything.

A fast-paced noir thriller filled with sharp dialogue, dark twists, and a detective who knows that some cases don’t end—they come back.
