Retread of Shadows

When private investigator Leo Vance takes on a routine case probing the death of a female mechanic at a Midwestern tire shop, he expects a simple insurance scam. Instead, he stumbles into a void where a perfect crime turns out to be nothing more than an accident wrapped in incompetence and bureaucratic apathy. As he shadows the ruthless owners of Griffin Tire & Mechanical Services, a faceless tracker begins shadowing him, pulling both hunter and watcher into a dead-end confrontation where the truth is far more banal—and deadly—than anyone could imagine.
