As a consigliere to the Bartolo crime family, Joe Coughlin has everything—money, power, anonymity, and a beautiful mistress. But his criminal empire is built on a lifetime of sin, and the dark truth of his past is about to emerge. Forced to navigate the treacherous waters between Tampa and Cuba, Joe must confront the consequences of his choices and the ghosts that have haunted him for years. In a world where loyalty is fleeting and trust is a luxury, Joe must fight to protect all he has built, even as the weight of his crimes threatens to consume him.
