   Summary

   Paul Jenner is an Oklahoma State Trooper, young but already weary of the job’s hidden toll. One quiet morning, a routine traffic stop turns violent—and Paul’s life ends in an instant.

   But death isn’t the end.

   Paul wakes in a strange place caught between life and whatever comes next. A mysterious figure offers him a chance to return, but not to the world he knew. Instead, Paul is thrust into a city steeped in shadows and corruption, where justice is a word with no meaning and heroes might never come, only questions.

   Haunted by his memories of fiction he barely cared for before and faced with unimaginable darkness, Paul must decide what kind of man he’s willing to become or die trying. Again.
