Shadows and Smoke: Embers of Power

The shadows are back. But this time, they burn.

When Officer Darren Courts dismantled the Syndicate, he thought peace had finally returned to the streets of Detroit. He was wrong. Trace Vega—the ghost Darren never expected to see again—has resurfaced, building a covert network of operatives with ties to rogue intelligence units, black-budget experiments, and global corruption that reaches far beyond the badge.

Shadows and Smoke: Embers of Power throws Darren into a firestorm of betrayals, hidden codes, and moral gray zones, where friends wear masks and enemies control the strings. With his new partner, Officer Clinton Johnson—a razor-sharp marksman with a fast mouth and faster reflexes—Darren must hunt down the embers before they ignite a war.

This third installment in the explosive Shadows and Smoke series blends high-stakes action, emotional grit, and gritty humor into a powerful, page-turning thriller.

Will Darren survive the fire? Or will he become part of the smoke?
