Staying alive in Queen City ain’t cheap, and Private Investigator Mickey Hook’s credit just ran out.

A botched case from the past is breathing down his neck, and a ruthless enforcer is stalking him for debts he can’t pay. Mickey’s ready to fold his hand, until a trip to the morgue changes everything.

The body on the slab is wrong. The cops say it’s one woman. Mickey knows it isn’t. Someone has rewritten the truth. This isn’t a mistake. It’s a cover-up, bought with silence and paid for in corpses.

Then she walks in.

Miss Friday, elegance sharpened into a weapon. A fixer for Queen City’s untouchables. She offers Mickey a way out, enough money to erase his past, his debts, and his problems. All he has to do is stop digging.

Easy money. Clean exit. No questions asked.

But Miss Friday demands a decision. She gives him a deadline, twenty-four hours to take the deal or earn a toe tag of his own.

With the police, the politicians, and his own demons closing in, Mickey must race against the clock to solve a deadly mystery that goes to the very top, before his own time runs out.
