Black gets a new case, solving the murder of the most famous tech mogul in the world, Lucian Rucker, after he’s gunned down on his company’s steps.

Unfortunately, no one else knows Lucian’s dead, not even the police, and Lucian’s stock holders and lawyer, the same people who hired Black, would very much like to keep it that way. They want Black to solve it, yet refuse him access to the body, Rucker’s companies, and the mysterious tech Rucker was working on before his death, which might be the motive.

More than anything, they want to bury Lucian’s secrets before his murder inevitably comes to light.

But Lucian’s secrets are dark––darker than Black ever imagined, and they start to hit at Black personally as he uncovers the billionaire’s crimes. When more people start to die, and the shooter’s victims increasingly follow a pattern, Black and Miri, and the rest of their team, must hunt down the mysterious killer before more people they love get caught in the crossfire.

CW: very adult themes and language, references to child abuse, severe trauma, and PTSD
