Jack Horton's luck changes with the pull of a slot—$147,000—and a bright, dangerous invitation into a stranger's life. Temptation becomes transgression when Jack trades on that luck: an affair, a fast friendship with a man who wears Park Avenue like armor, and a fifty-thousand-dollar favor he will later swear he never intended to spend.

Across town, Phil Cassavetti runs money and men for a crime family that believes in clean books and blood ties. When a botched execution spits a human head into the river and a fire that looks too neat consumes three Queens buildings, FBI Agent Elliott Murphy—recently sober, quietly furious—follows the money to the men who hide behind it.

What follows is a sharp and inevitable collision: a kidnapped wife who escapes with a duffel of cash; a vengeful widow who will do anything to cut loose threads; and a compromised man who must decide if confession buys his life or ends it. In this urgent, unflinching thriller, redemption sits on a table with a loaded gun—and the only moral calculus is survival. Who will live with what they've done?

 
In the second book of the Elliott Murphy series, Murphy finds himself on his final case of a thirty-plus year career with the FBI. As head of an elite team, the International Financial Crimes Unit, Murphy takes himself and his team on a global hunt for one of the most significant drug lords on the globe—the Gentleman Dealer, notorious Teddy Chen—who heads the Red Dragon cartel based out of China, the suspected largest fentanyl distributor on the planet.

Meanwhile, the unsuspecting head of a real estate hedge fund on Wall Street executes a $1.5 billion investment for Chen, thinking that Chen and his partner are Venezuelan Petro billionaires just trying to find a safe haven for their oil and gas profits.

Readers who love mystery, action, and crime will be on the edge of their seats as Murphy tries to solve his final case.
