Blood in the Margins: 1

Elias Roan is the man who keeps the numbers for Carrow Bay's most dangerous criminal organisation. For six years, he has held every debt, route, and secret inside his head-without putting a single line on paper. He is invisible, indispensable, and quietly stealing four-tenths of one percent to buy his freedom.¿With nine months left until his escape, Elias is thrust into the inner circle at Anchorage Hill and assigned to manage the books for Terminal Nine-a multi-million-dollar port operation led by Mira Marek, the brilliant, fiercely independent daughter of the city's crime lord.¿But when a federal agent threatens to dismantle everything, and internal betrayals turn deadly, Elias and Mira find themselves bound by a dangerous truth. In a world governed by ironclad rules and unforgiving arithmetic, escaping the syndicate isn't just about leaving a city-it's about surviving the ledger.¿Blood in the Margins is a gritty, atmospheric dark mafia thriller of high-stakes leverage, deadly secrets, and the true cost of freedo.
