Old Search's Victory

A city full of secrets. A killer with a gentleman's face. One old detective who never lets go.

Old Search has seen every shade of crime New York has to offer. He's worked the worst streets, turned the lowest informants, and outlasted every criminal who ever thought they could outrun him. He knows Hell's Kitchen the way other men know their own parlors.

But when Mother Flintstone — a notorious fence with a shadowy past — turns up dead with a dagger in her throat, Old Search senses something different underneath the grime and blood. The face spotted at her window belongs to no ordinary thug. It belongs to a man of wealth, breeding, and power. A man with everything to lose.

As Old Search pulls on the threads, the case unravels into blackmail, millionaire families, and secrets buried so deep that people are willing to kill to keep them quiet. His informants are threatened. His allies are shot in dark alleyways. And somewhere in the elegant drawing rooms of upper-class New York, a murderer watches and waits.

Old Search isn't rattled. He's been here before — in the dark, alone, with every answer hidden behind another lie.

But this case runs deeper than murder. And the closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous the truth becomes.

Can the old detective crack a conspiracy that reaches from the gutters of Hell's Kitchen all the way to the mansions of Fifth Avenue — before the killers silence him for good?
