When the city is a fortress of neon and steel, only the desperate dare to crack it open. Barker never wanted back in the game. But when a deal goes bad and his past debts close in, he finds himself pulled back into a crew planning the kind of score no one walks away from clean. In a future built on surveillance, corruption, and the illusion of order, every step he takes is a risk and every ally by his side has their own secrets. The job promises money, revenge, and maybe even redemption-but the price could be higher than anyone imagines. As the crew assembles-hacker, shooter, enforcer, insider, and point man-the plan unfolds across a neon-drenched sprawl where loyalty is fragile, corporate power is absolute, and betrayal comes faster than a bullet. For Barker, survival means more than getting out alive. It means facing the ghosts of his past and deciding what kind of man he is willing to be when more than the system itself becomes his enemy. Tense, gritty, and relentless, Heist fuses the pulse of a high-stakes thriller with the atmosphere of classic cyberpunk noir. Fans of Richard K. Morgan, Richard Stark, and gritty crime fiction of all stripes will find themselves hooked until the final page.
