Revisit the novel that got Henry published to begin with in 2017!
Detroit, 1976.
Eighteen-year-old Victor Carez has gone from penthouse privilege to a city where survival is a daily negotiation. His father drinks himself into violence, his mother drifts into a fog, and Victor clings to a single steady ritual: A weekly meal with the Chief of Police, the only adult who still sees him.
Then Danny Ponchello steps in. Sharp smile, quick fists, and the son of a man whispered to run Detroit’s underworld. Danny pulls Victor out of the line of fire and into a friendship that feels like rescue, until Victor realizes he’s being pulled somewhere darker.
What begins as protection becomes a descent.
What feels like belonging becomes a trap.
Over two turbulent years, Victor is dragged through alleys, backrooms, and the violent machinery of a city ruled by loyalty and fear. To escape, he’ll have to outrun the world he never meant to enter, and the version of himself it’s trying to create.
