He lost everything. Then he won the lottery. Now, the real fight begins.
James Sheldon used to be a hero. A decorated detective with a badge, a family, and a future. Now, he’s a ghost—a man sleeping in the shadows of the city he once protected, haunted by a tragedy that stripped him of his life.
Then, the impossible happens. A forgotten ticket in a tattered pocket turns into a £168 million jackpot.
For most, it’s a dream. For James, it’s a death warrant.
In the gritty underworld of the city, that kind of money doesn’t buy peace—it buys a target. From the penthouse to the gutter, every predator in the country is suddenly on his trail. These aren’t just street thugs; they are shadowy figures with deep reach and even deadlier motives.
To survive the night, James can’t afford to be a victim anymore. He has to resurrect the sharp, relentless detective he used to be. But as the bodies start to pile up, he realizes the money isn’t his salvation—it’s the bait in a trap he might not escape.
One man. A life-changing fortune. A city that wants him dead.
