THE TOWN THAT REMEMBERED

In a town owned by the mob, the only man you can trust is a fugitive.James Staphano knows the architecture of corruption. Framed for murder and hunted by a dirty police department, he is a private investigator with his back against the wall. The freezing plains of Akron, Colorado, hide a devastating secret, and Staphano is the only one who knows where the door is.Beneath the grain elevators and the county courthouse lies a subterranean highway-a perfect, hidden system built for moving whiskey, money, and bodies without ever seeing the sun. When the grieving daughter of a murdered bootlegger hires Staphano to find the truth, he realizes his own frame-up is tied to the town's darkest foundations.Standing between Staphano and his freedom is "The Architect," a ruthless Chicago syndicate boss who has bought every judge, mayor, and deputy in the county. To survive, Staphano must break into a flooded, subterranean vault, steal the syndicate's central ledger, and shoot his way back out.Fast-paced, gritty, and relentlessly tense, this is hardboiled Colorado Noir at its absolute best.
