Hard Justice

When a biotech executive is found murdered with a cryptic message carved into glass, Boston Detective Sean Malone is thrust into a case that threatens to unravel the city's darkest secrets. Partnered with Sarah O'Connor-a sharp, ambitious detective with ties to Internal Affairs-Malone digs into a trail of bodies linked to a defunct neuroscience program known as OPUS. As the investigation spirals, Malone uncovers a web of corruption stretching from City Hall to the police union, with Mayor Nathan Broderick at its center.
The victims aren't random-they're part of a kill list, targeted by a presumed-dead OPUS test subject scarred by experimental brain-mapping. With allies vanishing and enemies closing in, Malone must decide how far he's willing to go for justice in a city built on silence, power, and blood. The truth could cost him everything-but it's the only thing worth fighting for. Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, Tana French, and gritty political thrillers, Hard Justice delivers a relentless ride through the shadows of Boston's power elite.
