They thought the past was buried. But some codes never die.
In the underbelly of Chicago, the Moretti crime family is under siege. Three men-each with ties to the family and each marked with a cryptic message: CODE 606. As bodies drop and fear rises, enforcer Luca Moretti and his best friend Nico realize this isn't a turf war. It's a message.
Detective Ava North has spent years trying to bring the Morettis down. But when the murders begin pointing to a secret buried deep in her own past-and a forgotten mission in Afghanistan-she must decide who the real enemy is... and how far she's willing to go to expose the truth.
With a killer pulling strings from the shadows, Ava, Luca, and Nico must navigate a deadly web of loyalty, betrayal, and unfinished war.
Because some sins don't stay in the desert.
And CODE 606 was never meant to be reopened.

But when she transfers to a prestigious academy, two of the school's most feared students take notice: Antonio and Francesco Moretti. Cold, calculating, untouchable-until now. They don't know why they're drawn to her. Why she feels like something familiar. Why their guarded silence begins to crack around her laugh, her pain, her presence. They have no idea she's the sister they've mourned for years. And Isabella? She has no idea she's walking straight back into the family that never stopped searching.
