A Deadly Secret

A private detective, a city's underbelly, and a secret worth killing for.

What starts as a routine surveillance job takes a deadly turn when a wealthy businessman's daughter is found murdered, dragging Maldonado into a lethal conspiracy where every clue is a trap.

The city is watching, its shadows hiding enemies who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets buried.
