Dead Ledger

When a disabled former shipyard worker in the faded industrial port of Dunbridge receives an erroneous six-figure government disability back payment, he hides the windfall from his estranged wife and his ruthless half-brother. But a silent spyware app on his phone turns his secret into a deadly weapon. In a world of contactless fraud, encrypted burner accounts, and ghost beneficiaries, the real violence is still done by hand. From the author of dark domestic noir comes a gritty hit where technology buries the crime but exposes the raw, bleeding malice between those who once loved each other.
