About this audiobook
The city doesn't forgive
When a golden invitation drags Mercer into New Alderidge's high society, he finds himself far from the smoke-filled bars and back-alley deals he knows too well. A gala at Carrington House promises champagne and velvet gowns, but it delivers poison in the glass, blood on the parquet floors, and a corpse dressed for the spotlight.
Pulled between the scheming hands of the city's elite, Mercer discovers that fame is just another trap, and every whisper costs more than money. Frank must untangle a game of councilors, mob debts, and lies wrapped in silk.
In a world where glamour is just another mask and cyanide waits behind every smile, the question isn't who will pay the price ... but whether Mercer can walk away with his soul intact.
Velvet and Cyanide is a sharp, sultry noir tale-perfect for fans of classic detective fiction, smoky jazz clubs, and mysteries where every answer cuts deeper than the question.
