All Dorian Faust wanted was a sun-soaked escape. White Sail looked like the perfect place to forget cold streets and colder memories—until the city’s mayor turns up dead and the truth sinks fast beneath layers of silk, smoke, and silver tongues. Pulled into the investigation by a hard-nosed Harbor Watch chief and joined by his fierce companion Nyyco Silviano, Dorian finds himself in a city riddled with secrets and built on buried bodies. Everyone's got a smile on their face and a knife behind their back. And the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: this paradise is a facade—and someone will kill to keep it that way. Underneath the heat and glitter of White Sail, a decades old powder keg is discovered. And Dorian is about to strike a match. Lies glisten like sweat. Justice is a gamble. And not even the sun can bleach the blood beneath. amazon.com/dp/B0FBX78JXW
