The Wrong Turn

In the shadowy, rain-slicked streets of Miraville, a desperate young drifter named Leo Valenti makes a split-second wrong turn to avoid a patrol car, setting off a chain of events that entangles him in a billionaire's lethal plot. Drawing on the shrewd, observational style of Rex Stout, this neo-noir thriller pits moral ambiguity against cold, hard currency. When terminally ill magnate August Sterling offers Leo a new identity and a clean slate, it seems like destiny—until Leo discovers his body has been purchased, not saved. A razor-sharp investigator, Conrad Huxley, must navigate a labyrinth of legal loopholes and ethical decay to stop a surgery that blurs the line between philanthropy and murder.
