Clean Hands

On the debt-ravaged island of Isla Verde, where foreign overseers and vulture funds feast on the carcass of a nation, a smooth-talking predator named Julian Cross charms wealthy, fragile women into suicide—until he targets Elena Marquez. A former financial crimes analyst who walked away from the corruption she was meant to police, Elena sees in Julian not a monster, but a familiar stain. What follows is a duel of manipulation set against a backdrop of fiscal ruin, where the only heroism left is the stubborn refusal to let one more piece of filth slide.
