Cole Harper Mystery

Philadelphia, 1947. When private investigator Cole Harper is summoned to the penthouse of Sam Hensley—a powerful but shadowy industrialist--he knows it's no ordinary case. Luxury goods, military surplus, and counterfeit money are disappearing from Hensley's warehouses, and the clues point to an operation as sophisticated as it is ruthless. But Harper soon discovers this is no simple theft—this is the black market at its most dangerous.

As Harper dives deeper, he faces a tangled web of insider betrayal, shady alliances, and a criminal mastermind who will stop at nothing to stay hidden. When Eva Harrington, a sharp-tongued and enigmatic woman from Harper's past, reappears with her own agenda, the stakes become personal. Together, they must navigate smoky bars, shadowy docks, and high-stakes confrontations to uncover the truth. Who is pulling the strings behind the black market empire? And how far is Harper willing to go to expose them?

If you love the hard-boiled style of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, this one's for you. Step into the shadows, where the stakes are high, the risks are deadly, and justice is never black and white.
