Siblings, Love, & Murder

Dinah Hammer has spent her whole life protecting her family — keeping the books, keeping the peace, keeping the past buried. When a charming stranger sweeps her off her feet for the first time in years, she finally lets herself believe she's allowed something good.

She's wrong.

Across town, her brother Judah is fighting to hold onto everything he's built. A trusted man is murdered and mailed back to him in pieces. A new player is muscling in on his territory — one with more money, more muscle, and more patience than anyone he's faced before. He brings in private investigator Sam Sharpe to find out who's coming for him before they come for everyone he loves.

But the enemy is already inside the family's front door — and the cost of not seeing it coming will be paid in blood, fire, and a betrayal no one saw coming.

When the smoke clears, the Hammers will bury one of their own, and Dinah will be forced to confront the man who used her love against her family. As a ruthless cartel closes in for the kill, Judah and Sharpe have one chance to stop them — before the next Hammer family dinner becomes the last.

Some family bonds are forged in blood. Others are paid in it.

Fans of Lee Child, Harlan Coben, John Sandford, and Don Winslow will tear through this explosive sixth installment in the Hammer & Sharpe series — where loyalty is currency, family is everything, and no one is who they claim to be.
