Broken City

Some cities die from neglect. Others are murdered on purpose.

Detective Malloy has spent her career holding East Baltimore together with sheer will. Now the deaths are coming faster—overdoses, stabbings, and disappearances with too many questions and not enough answers.

Beside her stand Officers Nia Wallace and Ryan Mitchell, two allies she can still trust when every other badge feels compromised. Together they follow a trail of falsified reports, silent witnesses, and redevelopment plans built on blood.

Across the block, Hattie Carter searches for her missing grandson, and Darius—a boy desperate to be the hero—dives headfirst into a rescue that may cost him everything.

As their worlds collide, Malloy discovers that the city’s rebirth is a performance staged for power.

The real story hides in the shadows—where truth is rewritten, loyalty is a weapon,
and hope is the hardest thing to save.
