Hollywood, 1981. Rena Sloan drives a cab, holds a bar card, and takes cases nobody else will touch.
When Darlene walks into her office and sets a folded twenty on the desk, she has one story: her friend Jack Kerrigan tended bar at the Hell's Kitchen, never touched drugs, and turned up dead of an overdose. She has one ask: find out what really happened.
What Rena finds inside Jack's apartment changes everything. A list of six names in careful block letters. A city councilman. A state housing official. Forty million dollars moving through shell companies ? and a bartender who documented all of it, then hid the proof where only the right person would look.
Now someone is following Rena. Someone has been inside her apartment. And the further she pulls the thread Jack left behind, the more she understands that this city's corruption isn't at the edges ? it's load-bearing.
SLOAN is a crime thriller about what it costs to say the true thing out loud ? and what it means to finish someone else's work when finishing it might get you killed.
