Some secrets don't stay buried.Some come looking for you.When private investigator Frank Mercer wakes up drugged and disoriented, a trail of lies leads him into the city's darkest corners-churches, back-room dealmakers, and a priest who whispers about a myth whispered in blood.A rusted box.A bone-shaped key.A truth people have killed to protect for generations.As Mercer hunts for answers, he becomes entangled in a conspiracy that reaches from the gutters to the pulpit. Every suspect has something to lose. Every ally has something to hide. And the only thing more dangerous than opening the box...is knowing what's inside.A razor-sharp noir novella about temptation, corruption, and the cost of knowing too much.
