Mink Eyes

A Vietnam vet barely holding on. A case designed to break him.

In the dark heart of the 1980s, redemption and ruin walk the same road.

Peter O'Keefe starts every morning fighting the same battle—against the darkness that stalks him, the trauma that never left Vietnam, and the fear of failing the daughter who anchors his life. He's building his PI agency from the ground up and trying to believe he's more than the scars he carries.

Then a longtime friend asks him to look into what appears to be a small-time mink-farm scam. From the moment he arrives, O'Keefe senses the story isn't what he was hired to believe. The mink farm is a place of half-answers and watchful eyes, where everyone seems to know more than they're willing to say. What begins as a small-time dispute quickly reveals the outlines of a larger, darker operation—one stitched together by secrets no one wants uncovered.

And following those threads will force O'Keefe closer to the violence he's been trying to leave behind.

Complicating everything is Tag Parker: elusive, magnetic, and tied to the case in ways O'Keefe can't ignore. She may be a lifeline. Or the beginning of his downfall.

As the danger deepens, O'Keefe must decide whether he's the man he's been fighting to become—or the one the world keeps demanding he be.

Meet Peter O'Keefe—scarred, relentless, and a hero for our times.
