Legacy of Silence

In the steel-gray streets of Meridian City, second-generation don Nico Marchetti gambles the family’s future on a clean-tech revolution—acquiring a motor design firm to legitimize decades of blood money. But when a rival corporation sues for trade secret theft, private inquiry agent Titus Crown and his irreverent legman Eddie Finch are thrust into the chasm between old-world omertà and modern law. The deeper they dig, the more they uncover a revenge plot decades in the making: a disgraced engineer, a suicide pact from the past, and a chain of causation that leaves no sin unpunished. The legacy Nico seeks to build becomes the very scaffold of his ruin, proving that retribution is often just logic’s long tail catching up with the present.
