About the book

A string of brutal murders. A killer obsessed with ancient justice. A world where power is measured in blood and steel.

When Miami’s elite collectors of Eastern antiquities start turning up dead—each slain with an authentic samurai sword—investigative journalist Kenzie Gilmore is drawn into a case unlike any other. No longer with The New York Times, Kenzie is back in Miami, where her true crime podcast has made her a rising star.

But as she and Detective Reid Garrett navigate a web of illicit dealings and honor-bound traditions, they uncover whispers of a radical group seeking to reclaim what was stolen centuries ago.

The killer, an expert in samurai lore, seems to be executing a form of ancient justice, challenging the duo to a game of wits steeped in Eastern philosophy.
