In a city ruled by shadows, Alister Knight hunts a killer who never leaves survivors.
Seattle is colder, meaner, and far more dangerous than Alister Knight ever expected — a city where every alley hides a threat and every shadow belongs to someone who wants him dead. When a young woman connected to Felix’s sister is found murdered, Alister heads west to uncover the truth and walks straight into Sapphire Rushland’s territory, a criminal empire built on fear, bio‑enhanced enforcers, and a ruthless assassin known only as Spider.
The deeper Alister digs into the victim’s final days, the more the city closes in around him. Reviewers describe the story as “a thrilling ride through the shadowy streets of Seattle” where danger is as constant as the rain and every step forward drags him deeper into a web of gangs, crooked cops, masterminds, and killers who never miss their mark .
Alister isn’t just fighting criminals — he’s fighting himself. Readers praise his morally complex, introspective journey, calling him “a man wrestling with his own inner demons” as he confronts the thin line between justice and vengeance in a city determined to break him.
With fast‑paced, fluid writing, relentless action, and twists that strike without warning, Spider’s Bait delivers a gritty, hard‑boiled mystery that keeps readers hooked from the first page to the last. The atmosphere is noir‑drenched, the stakes are brutal, and the body count climbs fast — a “wild and bloodthirsty ride” that fans of crime fiction call immersive, gripping, and unforgettable.
Some rescues demand justice. Others demand vengeance. In Seattle, Alister Knight must decide which one he’s willing to die for.
