About this listen

1920s Chicago

When reporter Evelyn Drake turns up dead, Detective Declan Marr is assigned the kind of case nobody wants: no witnesses and no motive—at least not at first glance. The more Marr pulls at the threads Evelyn left behind, the more he uncovers a quiet network of men who move money, favors, and threats through the city without ever being seen. A network people whisper about but never name.

And they’ve already marked their next target.

With a frightened young man on the run, a journalist who won’t stay on the sidelines, and city officials warning him to walk away, Marr is forced into a corner—the kind where nothing stays clean and no help comes without a price. The only way out is to push back.

In a city built on silence, Declan Marr is the one man willing to break it.
