A federal judge is dead. The ledger says he was silenced. And Detective Mia Carter just became a target.

When a decorated judge is found dead under suspicious circumstances, Detective Mia Carter knows it's not suicide—it's execution. The deeper she digs, the darker the trail becomes: encrypted ledgers, shell corporations, and a government program so covert it doesn't officially exist.

Project Hemlock was supposed to be a training initiative. Instead, it's a hit list hiding behind federal budgets—and Mia's partner is already missing.

As Internal Affairs closes in and the body count climbs, Mia races to expose the truth before she's silenced like the rest. But every move she makes is being watched. Every name she uncovers vanishes. And someone high up is pulling the strings.

To survive, she'll need to go off-grid, trust old enemies, and break every rule she once swore to uphold.

The truth is encrypted. The betrayal is personal. And justice is no longer part of the plan.
