Tommy Marrone is the kind of ghost that never stays buried for long. Once a soldier with a devil-may-care grin and a reckless loyalty forged in the jungles of Vietnam, Tommy has since vanished into the shadows of organized crime. Now tied to cocaine deals, mafia connections, and a widening trail of blood, Tommy is the thread that links every loose end in Detective White's case. To some, he's a myth.
To others, a memory. But to Detective Brown-he was a best friend, a brother in arms, and now, a dangerous wildcard. Charismatic, unpredictable, and always one step ahead, Tommy embodies the chaos at the heart of this investigation. The deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: finding Tommy isn't just about cracking the case-it's about confronting the ghosts of the past and facing the ugly truth of who he's becomTense, brutal, and unforgiving, this novel is a slow-burning descent into crime, corruption, and the cost of power.
With characters that cut deep and a story that smolders long after the final page, Inhale Smoke, Exhale Death is a mafia noir for readers who crave danger, drama, and a dash of redemption.
