Blues for the Dead - (Trevor Finnegan Novel) by Aaron Philip Clark (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

When a notorious investigation into Los Angeles's darkest criminal network thrusts private investigator Trevor Finnegan into the national spotlight, the fallout is immediate--and lethal.

Evil just got an upgrade.

Haunted by his past as a cop and driven by an obsession with justice for the dead, Finnegan has spent years hunting the powerful men who profited from torture and murder on the dark web. But when a billionaire suspect dies in federal custody and the agents involved turn up dead under suspicious circumstances, Finnegan finds himself facing a far more insidious enemy. One that doesn't just silence people but drives them to the edge.

As Finnegan digs deeper, his search leads him into the orbit of a brilliant, charismatic tech mogul promising a cleaner, safer future through artificial intelligence. And the line between progress and cruelty blurs beyond recognition.

With his pregnant wife at risk, his agency on the brink of collapse, and his own moral compass under siege, Finnegan must decide how far he's willing to go--and what he's willing to lose--to stop a force that claims it can conquer death itself.

The new shocking, completely gripping Trevor Finnegan thriller by an author at the top of his game. Blues for the Dead is perfect for fans of S.A. Cosby.
