Shadow Harbor is a city where money moves faster than the tide and nothing stays clean for long. Private Eye Arson Maddox makes a living chasing problems most people are paid to ignore. When a new job pulls him back into the harbor's inner circles, Maddox finds himself walking a familiar beat that never forgot his name or forgave his mistakes.
What begins as routine work slowly exposes a web of influence stretching from smoky waterfront clubs to the confessional booth of San Gabriel's Cathedral, where loyalty is currency and the truth is dangerous. As old foes resurface and pressure closes in from every side, Maddox learns that in Shadow Harbor, digging too deep doesn't bring peace, it brings consequences. Some cities forgive. Shadow Harbor keeps score.
