Necessary Deeds
A literary agent fresh out of prison must catch a killer to reclaim his life.

As Matt navigates the treacherous world of publishing, he falls for a captivating suspect and confronts his own troubled past. Can he solve the case, find redemption, and embrace a future beyond the shadow of his crime? Or will his "Ferrari brain" lead him down a path of obsession and destruction?
