In Youngstown, Ohio, the real criminals wear suits and shake hands.
Private investigators Dave Lafferty and Sean Maddox are lifelong friends who have seen the worst the world has to offer. One a former civil servant with a cynical edge, the other forged by military direct action, they return to their hometown to open a PI firm in the rust belt city once dubbed Crimetown USA. Business is slow, the bills are piling up, and the election season airwaves are choking on the promises of slick politicians. Then an innocent looking girl walks through their door, and everything changes.
Her case pulls Lafferty and Maddox into a labyrinth of political corruption, kidnapping, and murder that stretches from the seedy underground of Youngstown to the highest corridors of power. A shadowy operative with military training and zero conscience is already several moves ahead of them. A state senator with gubernatorial ambitions has secrets worth killing for. And every layer the pair peels back reveals something uglier than the last. The stakes are no longer just professional. They are personal, and they are lethal.
Politics of Sin is a gripping, gritty thriller that asks a dangerous question: when the people who make the laws are the ones breaking them, who do you trust? And in a city built on corruption and violence, will Lafferty and Maddox survive long enough to find out?
