Two years ago, they closed the case. They were wrong.
Jack Ryker was a decorated detective until his partner Caleb turned up dead in an alley, ruled a mugging gone wrong. He knew it was a lie, but no one would listen. Now he's a washed-up private eye haunting the rain-soaked Onyx District, watching other people's lives fall apart for cash. Then Caleb's sister walks through his door with a safe deposit key, a handful of worn bills, and a truth that could bring down the most powerful corporation in Aethelburg.The data drive inside that box doesn't just hold secrets. It holds the architecture of a shadow empire. OmniCorp's god-king Alistair Crow didn't just buy the city. He owns the cops, the courts, the judges, and the hit men. And now he knows Jack has the drive.With no badge, no backup, and nothing left to lose, Jack's only ally is a brilliant, paranoid hacker who's been hiding in a basement, waging her own invisible war. Together they're a sledgehammer and a scalpel, two ghosts hunting a god in his own house. But the deeper they go, the more they realize the conspiracy doesn't end at the city limits.
How far do you push before the truth destroys everything, including you?
