Every cop knows the code. Some secrets are worth breaking it for.
Danny Reyes thought he understood loyalty. Then one night changed everything.
Now assigned to a task force targeting Port Vera's criminal underworld, Danny is working alongside Eddie Voss-the veteran officer who taught him everything about surviving the streets.
But the deeper they investigate, the harder it becomes to ignore the questions Danny has been carrying since that night.
As pressure builds and old secrets begin to surface, the bond between the two officers starts to fracture. Danny must decide how far he'll go to protect the man who made him a cop-and what it will cost to uncover the truth.
In a department where loyalty is everything, telling the truth can make you the enemy.
THE CODE is the second installment in K.J. Stone's A Port Vera Thriller series, a gritty police procedural about loyalty, moral compromise, and the consequences of protecting your own.
Some lines are crossed in a moment. Others take a lifetime to undo.
