When power shields the guilty, justice has only one weapon left: the truth.
Detective Jake Harper thought he left the past behind. After false accusations nearly ended his career, he rebuilt his life in the quiet city of Stonehaven. But when a tech mogul is found murdered, Harper uncovers a trail of corruption that leads straight back to the department that betrayed him.
The deeper he digs, the darker the truth becomes, finding evidence of a trafficking ring, political cover-ups, and a conspiracy involving powerful men who still view him as a threat. Now, with enemies circling and old wounds reopened, Harper must decide how far he is willing to go for justice and what it will cost him.
About the AuthorWolfe, J. K.: - J.K. Wolfe writes stories where justice limps, truth cuts deep, and the badge carries a weight most never see. A career cop and Coast Guard Veteran, Wolfe has worked homicide, sex crimes, child abuse, and financial investigations. His thrillers don't flinch-they pull readers into the real weight of the job, where truth is elusive and the cost of doing right is never cheap. He writes to honor the ones who still chase justice like it matters. The ones who keep going, even when they've been broken by the job, or by their own mistakes. Because for some, the badge isn't just a job. It's a calling. Wolfe lives in the Pacific Northwest and believes the best crime fiction doesn't just entertain, it asks hard questions. It tests its heroes. It bleeds truth onto the page. It reminds us that redemption is never easy, but it's always worth fighting for. If you've ever stood for something when it wasn't easy, or walked back into the fire when you had every reason not to, these books are for you.As Detective Harper would say, "Right is right. No matter the cost."
