The empire has fallen. The people behind it are still free.
Three days after Julian Ashford’s arrest, Detective Silas Vance finds evidence capable of destroying politicians, judges, CEOs and an international criminal network.
The deeper he digs, the deadlier it gets. Joining forces with Dahlia Voss — the former archivist who unknowingly catalogued the crimes of powerful men — Silas enters a world where every secret has a price and every truth demands a sacrifice.
As corruption spreads through law enforcement and justice itself hangs in the balance, surviving becomes as urgent as exposing the truth. Some battles are fought with bullets. Others are fought with trust.
