The Last Delivery on Fifth
A Novel

About this book:

Midnight in Manhattan. A sealed envelope. A triple-rate run to a penthouse on Fifth Avenue. For bike messenger Maya Ruiz, it should have been just another grind through wind and traffic—until the elevator doors open on a corpse, a slashed throat, and a set of keys she recognizes instantly. They belong to Leo, the ex she thought she’d left behind in Bushwick. Now he’s the prime suspect in a corporate assassination, and Maya’s the only witness who can clear him. Provided she survives the night.

Hunted by a hitman who moves like a shadow and a dispatcher who knows too much, Maya trades her fixed-gear for fire escapes, subway tunnels, and the rain-slick alleys of Chinatown. Every pedal stroke pulls her deeper into a conspiracy built on shell companies, laundered transit millions, and a ledger that marks Leo as the next name to be erased. The evidence is strapped to her chest in a waterproof bag. The clock is ticking toward dawn. And in a city that never slows down, the only way out is to ride straight through the dark.

*The Last Delivery on Fifth* is a breakneck urban thriller that fuses the kinetic energy of a messenger alleycat with the paranoid pulse of a classic noir. Sharp, gritty, and soaked in the smell of wet asphalt and burnt transmission fluid, it’s a story about the debts we can’t outrun, the past that catches up at forty blocks an hour, and the one delivery that changes everything.
