Henry Locke is a fixer. His specialty is burying secrets. But a new assignment is about to get him buried instead.
December 1937. America has turned inward. President Nathaniel Beauregard Vale rules with an iron hand, his government steeped in corruption, nationalism, and fear.
In Ottawa, Great War veteran and former NHL star Henry Locke works for media magnate James Redfern, cleaning up political scandals and massaging stories before they ever reach print. But behind the headlines, Locke quietly feeds information to Senator Callum Henshaw, a shrewd power broker and engineer-turned-statesman who knows another war is coming and means to keep Canada ready.
When Redfern receives an invitation to a private gathering in upstate New York, Henshaw sends Locke along to listen, watch, and report. What begins as a weekend of political maneuvering soon twists into something far darker; generals, financiers, and foreign agents gathered behind closed doors, united by a cause no one dares name.
When Locke uncovers a secret he was never meant to see, his cover shatters. Hunted by U.S. intelligence, Nazi operatives, and corporate enforcers, he must survive long enough to expose the truth before the conspiracy swallows him whole.
A gripping noir-thriller of power, loyalty, and betrayal set on the eve of a world descending into darkness.
