The Millionaire's Cross

By: Sal Nudo

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

One choice. Five million dollars. No way back.

Alex Neitzel is an ordinary man living a quiet life in central Illinois—a stable job as a copywriter, a beautiful wife, and the hopeful dream of starting a family. But when his car breaks down near a desolate Mahomet cemetery on a freezing December night, a chance encounter with a wealthy, eccentric stranger changes everything.

David Kendrick is old, dying, and desperate. He offers Alex and his brother, Trevor, a deal that sounds like a fever dream: five million dollars to commit a single act of mercy.

What starts as a "favor" for a grieving father quickly spirals into a nightmare of paranoia and blood. As the lure of the money takes hold, Alex find himself descending into a world where the lines between right and wrong are blurred by the frost of an Illinois winter. To keep the fortune, he must navigate a landscape of betrayal—even if it means turning against his own flesh and blood.

In this chilling noir thriller, Sal Nudo explores the heavy price of a failed conscience. From the neon lights of downtown Champaign to the lonely train tracks of the North Side, The Millionaire’s Cross is a story of how far one man will go to secure a future he didn't earn—and the dark secrets that refuse to stay buried under the snow.
