Ashes of a City

By J. Louis Faison II

When a drug deal goes wrong, Detective Marcus Kane is left bruised, bleeding, and marked for death. What should have been a simple undercover sting ignites a war that tears Hamilton apart.

Tasked with rescuing the estranged son of a powerful senator, Kane plunges into the city's criminal underworld-fighting cartel soldiers, corrupt cops, and politicians who will do anything to keep their secrets buried. But saving Elias Monroe means more than rescuing a life. The young man carries knowledge that could burn Hamilton's entire power structure to the ground.

As riots ignite and bullets fly, Kane is forced to battle not just the cartel, but the very system he swore to serve. Betrayal cuts deeper than bullets, and every ally could be an enemy in disguise.

With the city in flames, Kane must decide: will he die fighting for a city that sold him out-or drag it into the ashes with him?

Ashes of a City is a relentless, action-packed crime thriller about loyalty, corruption, and the thin line between justice and vengeance.
