San Francisco, 1874. A city of gold, secrets, and blood in the streets.
War-scarred L.D. Cade wants a fresh start. Partnered with smooth-talking Samuel Clayborne, he's building a business, and maybe a friendship, when a brutal attack at a seance pulls them into a case no one wants solved. The victim, firebrand Suffragist Athena Givens, has powerful enemies who'd rather see her silenced forever. Cade won't stand for that.
Meanwhile, Chinatown teeters on the edge of a gang war. Crime boss Lee Kwan wants peace. His brother Fang wants control. And the White Orchid—Kwan's deadly, seductive assassin—wants Cade's help. But in a city ruled by shadows, favors are never free.
With enemies closing in from every direction, Cade must decide what he's willing to fight for, before the streets erupt and everyone he loves is caught in the crossfire.
In a city built on secrets, survival means choosing a side... and praying you picked the right one.
A gripping blend of historical noir and Western grit, this is a tale of honor, betrayal, and survival in a city where justice comes at a deadly cost.
