About this listen

Mark "Slag" Ferguson (bartender, ex-boxer) adds unlicensed private investigator to his resume. Times are tough. The new side gig seems like a smart play.

Kelly Mason is a cool, enigmatic blonde whose husband has been acting strangely. She believes he’s being extorted. Can Slag help? Slag is sure he knows where the case will lead. Of course, he might be wrong.

In the near future, a man needs to hustle just to tread water. And Slag is a hustler. But he's about to discover there's a difference between the streets he knows and the dark alleys beyond—a lesson that demands a price.

Perhaps his soul.

Critic Reviews

“Gritty, intense, and immersive; a razor-sharp noir thriller that plunges into the murky depths of corruption and moral ambiguity.” –The Prairies Book Review
