One Bullet Two Lies

He wanted out. The city wanted blood.

Johnny Vega — ex-courier, part-time trigger-man, full-time cynic — has one last job before the shadows swallow him whole: a dead husband, a live insurance policy, and two million in unmarked bonds that stink of sweat, lies, and gun oil. Clean payout on paper. Dirty as hell in practice.

Every street's a trap. Every friend's a Judas. Then a ledger turns up, planted by someone who knows Johnny's habits, his sins, his tells. Now he's racing through dawn traffic with cops on one tail, the syndicate on the other, and a debt that was never going to be paid in anything but blood.
