Gideon Gault's Long Island Case

A city that will swallow him whole. A lawyer with secrets worth killing for. One detective who sees everything.

Gideon Gault is a man who notices what others miss.

When he steps into Counsellor John Gonzales' private office to deliver a simple letter, something in the room stops him cold. A hunched stranger. A lawyer whose easy composure has cracked at its edges. Papers that disappear too quickly into an overcoat pocket.

Gault walks out. But he doesn't stop watching.

When Gonzales vanishes from his Long Island estate without a trace, no one connects it to the desperate, weather-beaten man from that snowbound morning. No one except Gault.

As the investigation deepens, Gault uncovers a coil of old debts, buried crimes, and blackmail stretching back decades — a web in which Gonzales was never quite the respectable man the city believed him to be. Every answer surfaces another question. Every witness knows less than they should.

Someone wanted John Gonzales gone. Someone with enough to lose to make a man disappear entirely.

Gault fights through blizzard and deception, through corrupt associations and cold trails, certain of one thing: the truth is buried — and it won't stay quiet forever.

But in a case where every man has a secret worth protecting, can Gault expose the whole rotten truth before the people who buried Gonzales decide to bury him too?
