Prepare for a heart-pounding ride into the criminal underworld with Dead Money, the latest crime thriller from Shawn L. Bailey. This gripping novel dives deep into the volatile world of power, greed, and vengeance, where loyalty is tested and survival is the ultimate prize.

Set against a gritty urban backdrop, Dead Money introduces readers to Rozay, a ruthless crime lord navigating the dangerous game of trust and betrayal. As power shifts, alliances crumble, and enemies rise, the stakes couldn’t be higher. In this dark and brutal world, the only thing more dangerous than crossing the wrong person is underestimating the depth of their thirst for revenge.

Bailey’s Dead Money expertly weaves a complex narrative, filled with unexpected twists, high-octane action, and a cast of characters whose loyalty is constantly tested. The novel pulls readers into a world where every deal is a life-or-death situation, and trust is both a weapon and a risk. It’s a world where those who control the money control the game — and those who lose find themselves at the mercy of ruthless forces.
