About this book

Summary

Detective Lena Marquez has spent years chasing the ghosts of her city — the cases that end too clean, the criminals who vanish too quietly. But when the body of a respected financial consultant turns up in a rain-soaked alley, a single clue pulls her into a conspiracy that has been growing beneath the surface for decades. Each step deeper reveals more than corruption; it exposes a network known only as The Serpents — an alliance of politicians, financiers, and enforcers who built their empire on control and silence. As Lena digs into the trail of money, blood, and betrayal, she discovers that the people she trusted most are part of the machine she’s been fighting.
