The Empty Collar

A crew of elite con artists targets a craft-store empire that secretly washes money for Eastern European syndicates. They weaponize a fake PTSD service dog, a bogus discrimination lawsuit, and a corporate extortion scheme. But the hollow men they rob have no greed, no anger, no reason at all—only a void that swallows everyone who gets too close. Written in the cold, investigative rhythm of Brian Krebs, this is a story of motiveless evil and the predators who learn that the scariest monster is the one that doesn't need a reason.
