The Deadening Wake

John Hamilton. Ex-soldier. Ex-captive. Ex-everything worth a damn.

A shadow now, he drifts through a rinse-and-repeat daze, drowning his ghosts. Until he witnesses an abduction that shatters his routine.

A girl vanishes—and saving her unearths a past he buried, uncovers the raw edge of a man he used to be, unleashes the man he thought he'd killed.
