Cold Law, Bleeding Heart

Beneath the streets of Millbrook, Illinois, sewer inspector Elias Voss accidentally witnesses a murder orchestrated by the city’s elite. Branded a violent criminal and crushed by a brutal police force—in a case mirroring the infamous Brown v. Smith—he is swallowed by a machine where the law is an ice-cold contract and conscience is a bloody gamble. To survive, he must navigate the literal underworld, uncovering a conspiracy that reveals the helpless souls always sacrificed when power devours truth.
