THE GIRL
IN THE
CRIMSON COAT
CASE FILE 03
A girl in red. A trail of blood. A truth no one wants found.
A woman calling herself Angel walks into Frank Mercer’s office and hires him to find her missing sister.
The trail leads to the Ember Room, a jazz club dressed in red velvet, smoke, mob whispers, and dangerous promises.
But the deeper Frank digs, the more he realizes this case was never just about a missing girl.
It was about power.
And the woman in the crimson coat may already know how the story ends.
THE CASE FILE
Frank Mercer is hired by a woman who calls herself Angel.
She is elegant, wealthy, dangerous, and wrapped in the kind of perfume that lingers long after the truth walks out the door.
Her sister, Marcy, is missing.
At least, that is the story.
The trail leads Frank to the Ember Room, a high-end jazz club where mob men, city officials, and social climbers trade secrets under red velvet lights.
Marcy came to the city to meet Tommy Ricci. She never made it home.
When Frank finds her name in a police file and her body in the river, the case turns colder. Strangled. Dumped. Wrapped in a crimson coat.
The same coat Angel wore when she walked into his office.
Now Frank has to decide whether he is chasing a killer, protecting one, or falling for the most dangerous woman in the city.
