He freed a monster. Now the city wants his head. Mitchum Sweeney is fifty, separated from his wife, and one bad hand away from financial ruin. By day, he's a judicial staff attorney at Oakland's Superior Court. By night, he's dodging creditors and chasing lost causes. But when his expert testimony sets cartel kingpin Paco Castillo free, Mitch becomes a target - for the union, the FBI, and Paco himself. Castillo has one final demand: find his missing wife, and Mitch's mountain of gambling debt disappears. But when Mitch's search uncovers evidence of a child trafficking ring buried in the justice system itself, the stakes turn lethal. As bullets fly and bodies drop, Mitch is forced to reckon with his past and confront impossible choices - because the truth won't set him free, and saving the people he loves might mean damning himself for good . . . A razor-sharp legal thriller packed with corruption, blackmail, and moral reckoning. Perfect for fans of John Grisham, Michael Connelly, Scott Turow, James Patterson and Harlan Coben.

The novel was also long listed for the Guardian Newspaper's prestigious readers' choice award, Not the Booker Prize.His following two novels, Doll Face and Shadow Soul soon became firm, crime fiction fan favorites, and established DI Manx as a fresh, compelling protagonist in Welsh Noir. His standalone thriller, What Follows, set in Oakland CA, was published in 2021.Dylan is also a creative director and ad agency copywriter, and now lives in Oakland, California with his wife Laura and daughter Isabella.
