Past-Due Vengeance

Disability attorney Elliott Cross believes he's only fighting a bureaucratic cap on his legal fees—until his frail client, Anna Klein, whispers a name that should belong to a dead war criminal. As Elliott digs deeper, he unearths a monstrous secret: the commander of a notorious wartime massacre is alive, masquerading as a revered philanthropist. Suddenly, the fee dispute becomes a race against time. With an aging killer desperate to silence the last living witness, Elliott must navigate a labyrinth of legal traps and mortal danger. Each step toward the truth tightens a noose around his own family, forcing him to weigh a decades-overdue justice against the life he has built. In this psychological legal thriller, the past is not merely prologue—it's a blood debt coming due.
