Black and Cocaine were never allies, but with Parker missing, desperation forces them into an uneasy truce. The streets of Chicago hold answers, but the Romano family—humiliated and vengeful—are determined to bury them both.
 
As Black digs deeper, he finds himself tangled with Liquorice Cardosa, a wild card whose fiery charm feels more like a setup. Is she the key to Parker’s disappearance, or another trap in a city full of them?
 
Time is running out. The Romanos want revenge, Parker’s life hangs by a thread, and Black is playing a game where the rules keep changing. In a city where betrayal is currency and the truth is a rare commodity, survival demands sacrifice.
 
“Hard Liquor After Midnight” is a gritty, high-stakes thriller where alliances shatter, loyalties burn, and trust comes at a price.
