Serpent's Last Turn

Deep-cover detective Declan Cross has spent seven years inside the Corrigan crime syndicate, rising to become the inner-circle enforcer known as "The Serpent." With the FBI's RICO case weeks from indictments, Declan receives a final order: deliver the kill-code evidence and walk away. But when he uncovers that the Bureau's own deputy director has been taking Corrigan payoffs—and that his handler plans to burn him as a loose end—Declan faces an impossible choice. As the line between cop and criminal dissolves, he must decide whether to expose the system that created him, or become the monster they always feared he was. A noir thriller about loyalty, corruption, and the terrifying ease of becoming what you pretend to be.
