Concrete Graves: The bodies were never the point

By Irene Boston

CONCRETE GRAVES
Book One of The Concrete Series
New York City is counting bodies.
Victims are found buried in concrete across the five boroughs, each crime scene marked with a Roman numeral calling card and a judgment label: The Betrayer. The Liar. The Coward. The press names the killer The Verdict, and panic spreads through a city already built on secrets.
Leading the investigation is Winter Emerald Amor Schuler-an elite NYPD homicide detective known for her icy blue eyes, sharp instincts, and refusal to bend under pressure. At home, Winter balances the chaos and love of life with her husband Damen Schuler and their five children.
But as the case grows darker, Winter learns two shocking truths:
The killer is not one person.
And someone inside law enforcement is feeding them information.
Then comes the revelation that changes everything:
Winter is five months pregnant with a baby girl; she never knew she was carrying.
As her family becomes a target, old secrets begin to surface, including evidence that Winter's mother did not die of natural causes. Hidden behind the murders is a larger architect: a polished empire-builder with deep ties to Winter's past and the power to destroy everyone she loves.
Now Winter must solve the case, protect her family, uncover her mother's murder, and survive a war that was planned long before the first body was found.
Because the bodies were never the point.
They were directions.
