About this audiobook
Frank Mercer thought he was being hired to recover a jewel.
Instead, he walked into a citywide trail of bodies, lies, and old superstition.
Delilah Vale says the black diamond known as The Widow’s Tear has been stolen from her collection. It is worth a fortune, wrapped in myth, and tied to a curse that has followed it across generations.
The last man connected to the stone is Harland Vex.
By the time Frank finds him, Vex is already dead.
What starts as a missing diamond becomes something much darker: pawn shops, hotel rooms, hired muscle, a European collector, a murdered informant, and a woman whose tears may be just another part of the act.
In this city, curses do not need magic.
They just need desperate people willing to believe.
