The Alamo
He was looking to disappear. Instead, he uncovered a murder.
Coney Island in the off-season should’ve been a quiet retreat for John Milton. But when a local boy witnesses a brutal murder, Milton steps in—and finds himself caught between a vicious drug gang and a crew of corrupt cops from a precinct known as “The Alamo.”
As the bodies pile up, Milton must navigate a deadly game of lies and violence where no one can be trusted. The city may have forgotten how to protect its own—but Milton hasn’t.
