Clean Hands

He creates the mess. She cleans it up. They were never supposed to meet.

Silas is the mob's most efficient hitman. He is a ghost in a bespoke suit, a man who values order, precision, and the silence of a job well done.

Ruby is "The Cleaner." She is the invisible woman called in to scrub the crime scene, dissolve the evidence, and make the bodies disappear.

For five years, they have worked in perfect tandem but have never met face-to-face. Their only contact? The sarcastic, passive-aggressive sticky notes they leave for each other on the bodies.

Sorry about the rug. Next time, use plastic sheets. You owe me a drink.

It was a perfect arrangement. Until the Don decides Ruby knows too much.

When Silas is ordered to eliminate the only person who understands his work, he makes a choice that shatters his carefully ordered world. Now, the Artist and the Cleaner are on the run, hunted by the very organization they served.

Forced into a terrifying intimacy in a stolen getaway car with a one-eared cat named Barnaby, Silas and Ruby must learn to trust each other before their past catches up to them.

But in a life built on erasing evidence, the hardest thing to hide might be their feelings.
