Cold Contract

In the rust-belt city of Millford, a woman fighting for her husband’s disability benefits stumbles upon a chilling conspiracy between the welfare agency and a private medical contractor. When the law becomes a weapon of the powerful, her pursuit of truth triggers a merciless bureaucratic hunt. In the spirit of Val McDermid, this is a story where legal procedure is an icy contract, conscience is a blood-soaked gamble, and the most vulnerable souls are always the sacrifice.
