Dead Man's Payback

Frank Mallory, Book 1

They came for him. They killed her instead.

Frank Mallory thought he’d left the violence behind. A former mob enforcer turned quiet private investigator’s assistant, he built a life with Patricia – a life he never believed he deserved.

Then a professional hit meant for Frank takes Patricia instead.

Now, grief burns through him like acid, stripping away the man she made him into. What’s left is what he always was – a predator who knows how to wait, watch, and kill without hesitation.

As Frank hunts down the men responsible, he cuts deeper into the city’s underworld than he ever planned, uncovering old debts and darker secrets. Each step forward drags him closer to the monster he once was… and he’ll have to decide:

Does vengeance matter more than the last piece of his soul she left behind?

Perfect for fans of Harlan Coben, Lee Child, and gritty vigilante thrillers.
