The January Man

January’s first thaw, a coffee shop’s broken neon buzzing like a hive. Two brothers again: one ex-cop, one still on the job. A murder clock ticks down every seventh night. Corruption hums beneath the city’s ice, sweet as stolen sugar. One must play decoy with his own badge. Pat O’Connor’s thriller thaws in mordant neon noir.
