Running from the mob is deadly. But running from your past… that’s impossible.
For twenty years, adoptive gangster Jimmy the Grayduck has become the best bag man for the Chicago Polish mob. He’s earned the trust of Boss Vikk Korsack and is engaged to his youngest daughter Melina.
The envy of every wiseguy in the Windy City, Jimmy’s secret, runaway past still haunts him: the cursed satchel he and his childhood friends unearthed from an Ojibwe burial mound. It destroyed his family and childhood but helped him clean up after the mob and make a name for himself. But when Vikk retires and appoints the Grayduck his successor, Jimmy’s past kicks back.
His last job is to dispose of a hooded woman locked in a storage unit. A woman who threatens to topple everything he built in Chicago and force him to confront his past. Can Jimmy have the best of both worlds? Or will he be forced to cash out and run from the mob?
If you need a dark love story told against a mob backdrop, bone-chilling tension, and a trauma-filled childhood, then step across the line and venture into the gray!
