The Animal Within

In a city where corporations own the skyline and the streets belong to the desperate, Eddie Howlett makes a living doing the jobs no one else wants to touch. He's good at it, too good. And he's spent years pretending that the violence he deals out is just another part of the ecosystem he was born into.
But when a name from his past resurfaces, Eddie is dragged into a hunt he's avoided his entire life. What begins as a simple lead spirals into a collision of old loyalties, buried truths, and the kind of enemies who don't stay dead long enough to matter. As the city tightens around him, Eddie is forced to confront the one thing he's never been able to outrun: the blood he comes from.
With allies who don't always listen and enemies who know him better than he knows himself, Eddie walks a line between the man he is and the thing he's becoming. And in a world built on augmentation, surveillance, and power bought in back rooms, the most dangerous weapon might be the part of him he's tried hardest to bury.
Some ghosts don't stay quiet.
Some questions don't stay unanswered.
And some men aren't meant to survive the truth.
