Description
📖 Paperback Edition — My father’s last order was my death. The man he gave it to is the only one I trust.
My father ordered my death. Then someone killed him first.
The night Massimo Vescari is shot in his own study, I open his safe and find a single sheet of letterhead in his black ink: my name, the word removed, the word quietly. And under his signature, in blue ballpoint, two initials I would know anywhere.
R.K. — accepted.
Roman Kessler ran my father’s security for six years. Two years ago, on a terrace above the Halcyon ballroom, I kissed him once at midnight and he told me to go inside. Ten days before my father died, he was thrown out of the house and nobody will tell me why.
Now every man on my door answers to someone who wants me gone. I have thirty days to win a council vote for my father’s chair. And the only man in Saint Orison I’m sure didn’t help put my father on that carpet is the man who signed an order to kill me.
So I call him. I put my father’s revolver under his jaw and give him my terms: work for me, protect me, and never keep a secret from me again.
He swears it. He bleeds for me in a back lane full of broken glass. He takes me apart against a window thirty-one floors above the harbor and feeds me toast at three in the morning. He makes me believe I am the one thing in this city nobody gets to touch.
Until fifty-eight minutes of footage shows up at a council table, and every captain in the family watches him stand outside my door with a gun in his hand.
I can survive my family.
I don’t know if I can survive what Roman did with my father’s last order.
