Logan thought he'd seen it all-until the night two strangers walked into The Lantern. A quiet dive bar, the kind where everyone's a regular, and nothing ever changes. But everything changes when Logan overhears a cryptic conversation between the men. A few whispered words, an abandoned briefcase, and a chilling sense of something dark lurking beneath the surface. The next morning, one of the men is dead. And Logan's life is suddenly tangled in a conspiracy far bigger than they could have imagined. Inside the briefcase, a file marked CONFIDENTIAL, a photo of the city's district attorney, and a bullet, waiting for someone to make a move. Now, Logan is the target of a ruthless crime syndicate, and the only thing more dangerous than the people hunting them is the terrifying truth they're running from. With no one to trust, and everything to lose, Logan's instincts-sharpened behind the bar-become their only weapon. But in a city where nothing is what it seems, survival means more than just outsmarting the criminals on their trail. It means uncovering a deadly secret buried in plain sight.
