The Devil's Interest

A body in a bank vault at midnight. The fluorescent lights flicker, the salt air rolls in from the harbor, and private investigator Sloan Calloway finds himself standing at the edge of a conspiracy that stretches from the loading docks to the marble halls of the city's elite. What begins as a grisly discovery quickly pulls Sloan into the orbit of Judge Harrison Webb, a man whose rulings have made powerful enemies, and Detective Marcus Pryce, a cop whose loyalty is already fracturing under the weight of what he knows. Complicating everything is Sloan's brother Declan, whose choices have placed the family name directly in the crosshairs of Senator Lyle Hammond, Vivienne Marchetti's calculating reach, and Cassius Webb's quiet vengeance. As bodies fall and alliances shift, Sloan must choose between protecting his own blood and exposing the rot at the city's core, because some secrets pay the devil's interest in blood, and the collector has come to collect.
