He put my brother in the ground. Now he's the only warm thing left in my world.
For two years, salvage diver Luka Beridze has hunted one man - the Bratva enforcer who walked into his family's boatyard and put his little brother on the ground. Two years of a cousin's money, a borrowed rage, and a grave he has never once understood. When he finally gets his hands on Pavel Raskov, the killer doesn't fight. He kneels. He offers his throat, and one impossible question: why, alone among all the vanished dead, was Dato left where his family could find him?
Pavel is a dead man either way. Marked by the empire he betrayed, hunted by a boy who used to be him, he came back to the city that wants him erased for one thing only - the road out, a new name, a clean disappearance. He did not plan on the brother of the man he killed. He did not plan on being seen all the way down, and wanting, for the first time in his ruined life, to stay.
But there is blood in the water between them that will never wash out. A finder is closing on their trail. A grieving cousin means to settle the account in kind. And the only way either of them survives now is to become a dead man for real - if they can stop being each other's unfinished business long enough to run.
Some debts you pay in blood. Some you pay in mercy. Pavel has only ever known how to pay one.
In the Bratva, the only way out is to stop existing.
