Trust. The deadliest weapon.

Detective John Zalerian once dragged Charlene out of a killer’s hands and gave her a place to hide—in his home, in his life, maybe even his heart.

Now another killer stalks her through the shattered bones of Los Angeles—and John is next on the list.

The hunter becomes the hunted. The detective becomes the prey.

When the trail twists back to Charlene, slick with the fingerprints of organized crime, John’s world tilts into free fall. His badge is worthless. His heart’s a liability. Every instinct screams protect her—every fact whispers she’s going to destroy him.

In a city where loyalty is suicide and love is a loaded gun, trust isn’t salvation. It’s the pull of a trigger.

Careless weaves the moral shadows of noir with the ruins of a fallen Los Angeles—a story of obsession, survival, and the thin line between guilt and grace.

Perfect for fans of James Patterson and Michael Connelly, Careless takes police work to the end of the world.
