Beschrijving
Amidst the shadows of New York City's underbelly, a chilling tale unfolds as the grim reality of crime and vengeance takes center stage. Kenan Khoury, a prominent drug lord, finds himself unraveling when his wife, Francine, is kidnapped. The stakes rise as a ransom is demanded, but the situation escalates into a chilling nightmare that goes beyond mere greed.
In his quest to rescue Francine, Khoury taps into his desperation and the dark resources at his disposal, leading him to enlist the help of Matt Scudder, a former police officer-turned-private investigator. Scudder, with his own troubled past, is drawn into the labyrinth of deceit and brutality that defines Khoury's world. Their journey is imbued with moral ambiguity as they navigate the treacherous terrain of criminal dealings and personal sacrifice.
As the clock ticks down, the story delves deep into themes of loss, retribution, and the sacrifices one must make to protect loved ones. Each step through the city’s haunted streets brings them face-to-face with the consequences of their choices, revealing the fine line that separates justice from vendetta. The atmosphere thickens with tension, compelling readers to ponder the dark corners of loyalty and the price of love in a ruthlessly unforgiving world.
