ONE WRONG TURN IN THE RAIN-SLICKED CITY IS ALL IT TAKES TO LOSE YOUR SOUL.
Jack Corrigan is a man with knuckles like knotted rope and a jaw that hasn't seen a smile since the Truman administration. A washed-up PI living on cheap whiskey and bad decisions, he's used to the grimy underbelly of the city. But when Senator Marcus Thorne bursts into his office with a desperate plea and a grainy video of his kidnapped son, Corey, Jack is pulled into a depraved world he never knew existed.
The video is a nightmare of concrete and steel: Corey, naked and bound, his body betrayed by an unwilling arousal amid the snap of the whip. As Jack follows the trail through underground physical magazines and "Locked Up Boys" catalogs, he encounters Theodore Thorne—the Senator's sharp, predatory eldest son who runs an empire of high-end "document delivery" that's actually a front for something much more sinister.
From back-alley gym counters to being bound in a high-rise office, Jack's investigation blurs the line between hunter and hunted. Theodore doesn't just want Jack off the case; he wants him in the family business—a world of international trafficking where young men are broken, remade, and sold to the highest bidder.
In this city, innocence is a commodity, and every man has a price. Jack Corrigan is about to find out exactly what his is.
WARNING: This book contains scenes of non-consensual bondage, intense physical discipline, human trafficking, and filmed exploitation. It features themes of helplessness, dehumanization, and forced submission that may be triggering for some readers. Proceed with caution.
