The city was never clean. It was built on backroom deals, blood money, and men who thought they were untouchable.
But then came Sam Devlin.
Once a man who believed in the truth, he learned the hard way that truth didn't win-power did. Beaten down, disillusioned, and running on nothing but whiskey and bad decisions, he remade himself into something the city wasn't ready for.
A job lands in his lap-simple on the surface, but nothing in this city ever is. The deeper he digs, the darker it gets. Corrupt officials. Cops with blood on their hands. Killers in tailored suits. And the man sitting at the top, pulling all the strings.
Sam knows how this ends. He's not looking for redemption. He's not looking to survive.
Some men deserve a bullet. Some men deserve fire.
And Sam Devlin? He's about to give the city a reason to remember his name.

PASSIONS OF CRIME
Defense lawyer Antonio Connor's life changes when he takes a case that starts off as an ordinary murder in the first-degree and then turns into something more dreadful. Taunted by his enemies and his inner demons alike, Antonio faces a harrowing test of his limits and skills when he discovers that the roots of the murder lead to a menacingly tangled web left undiscovered for long. Crime, mystery and passion come together in a sinister game of life and death as the clock ticks faster with each passing day and every other blow falls quicker than the first..... And if at all you can follow our protagonist to the end of this journey, there's only one question that needs answering: CAN YOU FACE THE TRUTH? Hey guys this is my first official novel and also the first story I'm uploading on Wattpad. Kindly forgive technical issues (if any), I'm still trying to get used to the platform. I've tried my level best to avoid grammatical mistakes and errors, so please forgive me for any that you might come across. I know the chapters are a bit long (some are too long), but believe me they will be worth reading, I couldn't split them up since each chapter has a significance as a whole. That being said, enjoy the story... HAVE FUN!!!Concluida
The Last Call
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.
You V.S. Mafia
[COMPLETED] "Shoot," Joey mumbles, letting out a string of profanities under his breath. We turn around to find a group of men, all with guns, standing where we just came from, and they look pissed... probably because they were forced to run through this tunnel after us. "Thought you could get away, didn't you?" The man who I saw before asks. His husky voice booms in the hollow tunnel, reverberating off of the dirt walls. His voice sounds familiar, and a realization strikes me. It sounds like the man from my dream. I remember him holding a gun and wearing a blue suit, smiling evilly at me. "Leave us alone," Joey says, sounding dangerous and snapping me out of my thoughts. The levity of the situation hits-we need to get out of here. I look around for a route of escape and thankfully I see a light, literally, at the end of the second tunnel. I let out a small, almost inaudible, gasp and nudge Joey. He looks at me and I subtly gesture with my head to the second tunnel. He glances at it and immediately we are on the same page. His jaw sets and he looks at the group. The man speaks up again, chuckling darkly-a sound I will never forget and will be permanently etched into my brain, "You can thank your father for starting this mess." -------------------------- Liza was a normal teenaged girl, living the average life that an eighteen year old girl should be living.
