The Seventh Hour

For the ones who learned that screaming doesn't stop the knife.
_______

A dead agent. A frozen watch. A name he shouldn't know.

Intelligence agent Yoongi trusts nothing—especially not the archivist who looks at corpses like weather reports. In fog-choked Crestfall, someone inside his own agency is selling secrets and stacking bodies. Every ally has a knife behind their smile. Every truth is a smaller lie wearing better clothes.

She knows something. He doesn't know if she's a victim, a killer, or the coldest thing between them.

1950s Veridia, Typewriters, train stations, and the kind of betrayal that doesn't end when the gun fires.

Trust is a luxury. He's all out.
______

• Espionage thriller.
• Slow-burn.
• Psychological warfare with teeth.
