BLOOD LINE

By Richard Harman

Lucas Raines is a former DEA agent who knows how systems hide their crimes. When his investigation pulls him deep into the machinery of an international cartel network, he discovers the truth is far more dangerous than the traffickers themselves. As borders blur and institutions quietly protect their own, Lucas becomes the visible pressure point in a system built on silence. Exposing the truth forces him into a brutal choice. Disappear and let the machine survive or stand in the open and become the sacrifice that keeps it running. When a cartel power broker is arrested and the story begins to rewrite itself, Lucas refuses to vanish. His decision triggers a public reckoning that threatens governments, agencies, and financial empires that depend on controlled instability. What follows is not justice as the world imagines it but consequence. Quiet. Relentless. Permanent. This is a thriller about corruption that does not explode but endures. About truth that survives not because it wins but because someone refuses to let it be forgotten. Residual Impact is a gripping, thought provoking novel about power, silence, and the cost of making systems uncomfortable.
