Tom Keeler, a former elite Air Force operative, wants nothing more than a quiet escape in the French village his mother once loved. But tranquility shatters when three men attack him, and his elderly cousin turns up dead—murdered with a sharpened screwdriver. Something’s wrong in Alencourt, and the local police seem complicit.
As Keeler digs deeper, he uncovers layers of corruption and brutality that test even his hardened instincts. The rot in this picturesque town runs deep, and its ruthless perpetrators will do anything to protect their secrets.
For Keeler, this isn’t just a mystery—it’s personal. As his investigation heats up, so does the danger, and Alencourt’s enemies may have underestimated the deadliest force they’ve ever faced. Will Keeler survive the fight—or burn it all down trying?
