Two strangers chasing the past. One truth that could kill them.
Cole, a social worker haunted by his father’s “suicide,” can’t shake the feeling it was a lie. Ray, a war veteran rebuilding his life, uncovers a faded photo and a ring—clues that could finally reveal his biological family. As their separate investigations tighten around the same ruthless man, buried histories surface, loyalties splinter, and the past starts fighting back.
For readers who crave character-driven danger, this psychological fiction mystery digs into identity, the quiet inheritance of trauma, and the slipperiness of truth—where every memory has an agenda and every secret leaves a scar. Cole and Ray must decide who they are beyond their fathers’ failures…and whether the brotherhood they never knew they had is worth dying for.
A family secrets psychological thriller with the pulse of a domestic suspense thriller.
When their searches hit an organized crime mystery, the cost of answers becomes everything.
