Saints of the Spirits - Andersen Macleod

Briarsport, 1928.

Faison Maltese has spent years building an empire in the shadows, buying loyalty, burying enemies, and securing enough wealth to someday leave the criminal life behind. But there is one thing in Briarsport he values more than money, power, or survival.

Gloria Humphreys.

She has already paid dearly for loving him.

Now, with corrupt detectives circling, a ruthless criminal matriarch tightening her grip on the city, and blood beginning to spill across Briarsport’s streets, Faison’s carefully built world is closing in around them.

Gloria knows the man she loves is dangerous. She also knows danger has never belonged to him alone.

As old debts come due and enemies move against everyone Faison considers family, escape becomes more than a dream. It becomes a race against a city determined to keep its sinners, its secrets, and its dead.

Because in Briarsport, saints are hard to find.

And spirits never stay buried.
