Fractured City

Meridian is a city divided between wealth and poverty, power and desperation, loyalty and betrayal. When a high-profile banker is found dead under suspicious circumstances, lives across the city collide. Detectives, journalists, criminals, and hackers are drawn into a dangerous web, each carrying secrets that could destroy them. Detective Clara Voss is haunted by past failures as she hunts for justice. Ethan Langford, an ambitious journalist, is willing to cross moral lines for the truth. Victor Hale, a powerful financier with a hidden empire, will stop at nothing to protect his secrets. Sofia Ramirez, a street-smart hacker, navigates a treacherous world of gangs and informants. And rookie cop Marcus Kane finds his own sense of morality tested when vengeance and duty intertwine. In Fractured City, alliances are fragile, motives are murky, and no one is safe. As Meridian's darkest truths come to light, each character must decide to survive at all costs, or risk everything to expose the corruption that binds them all.
