Thorne Family is a hell of a thing... so is survival

David Thorne's father left him two decades ago. No goodbye. Just a few birthday cards, vanished like a ghost. Now he's back-and says someone's coming to kill him. Outside, snow falls and the city glimmers in Christmas lights, but this reunion is anything but a Christmas miracle. The job? Simple enough: stop the murder before it happens. But David knows nothing is simple when it comes to Richard Thorne. Not the lies. Not the past. And definitely not the truth. While David digs into his father's past, his partner Jack Marlow handles another paranoid client claiming he's accidentally hacked into a deep web death market-and now someone's got him in their crosshairs. Different cases, same smell of blood. When both trails lead to the same door, David and Jack find themselves caught in something bigger than either of them could have ever expected. Government cover-ups, hired guns, and a whole lot of secrets someone's willing to kill to protect. Whether this is your first introduction to the Thorne series, or you're back for more, this crime thriller will take you for a ride.
