The Boy Who Didn’t Cry Wolf | Lucius Arrow | Novella (DIAMOND)

Description

Guilt is the dagger buried in his heart. Silence leaves him treading on thin ice—and survival demands a bargain unfit for the faint-hearted.

Guilt-stricken by his father’s death—a consequence of stumbling into a secret criminal organization’s illicit trade—Nash is adamant that keeping his mouth shut is the only way to stay alive. But when a cunning stranger forces him into a reckless blackmail scheme, Nash shatters his silence. He finds himself trapped between paralyzing guilt and exposing the heinous patronage of a shady adversary: a wolf hiding in sheep’s skin.

His audacity does not go unnoticed. The crime ring’s shadowy elite are one step ahead, launching a plot for retaliation with one objective: elimination.

Meanwhile, recuperating Police Inspector Sakay escapes the torment of his treacherous colleagues. Falling short of his vow to clear his name and save his godson, he must make a last stand against the wrath of his dark past, his back against the wall.

Nash’s disastrous scheme turns into a devastating snare when the greed of his own cohorts betrays them all, culminating in a catastrophic ‘Night of Infamy.’ Finding salvation only in the hands of uncanny allies lurking in the shadows, he realizes that justice is a myth.

In the second installment of this explosive thriller series, Nash is torn limb from limb. Between preserving his life and exposing the truth, he faces a gloomy path ahead—for both crossroads lead only to eternal anguish.
