Three in the Shadows: A Detective Jake Castillo Novel

A massacre on Lexington Avenue drags Detective Jake Castillo into one of the most ruthless cases of his career. As he tracks a reckless street crew leaving bodies across East Harlem, Jake's own past starts bleeding into the investigation, pushing him toward a breaking point he can't afford. Across the same streets, Detective Vanessa Guerra is chasing a very different threat - the attempted assassination of crime boss Frank Colón. The attack exposes fractures inside the Colón family, and Vanessa finds herself navigating a world where every answer is wrapped in fear, silence, and ambition. Caught between the violence rising in the neighborhood and the power struggle threatening to tear a criminal empire apart, both detectives fight to keep control of their cases - and themselves - as East Harlem edges toward something explosive. In this city, danger doesn't wait its turn. It arrives from every direction.
