Sliprat

An outsider. A badge. A stolen truth.Baler is a young CED officer trying to prove he belongs behind the badge. Sliprats—the thieves who haunt the city's cracks—are exactly the kind of criminals he's supposed to stop. But in a city built on secrets, law and justice are not always the same thing—and the closer he gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to know which side he's on.Eldon is stranded in The Corners with winter bearing down. She has one chance to buy her way out: steal back what one of the most powerful men in the Unionfold stole from her. She has no crew. No plan. No room for mistakes.As curfew tightens and the city prepares to seal itself for winter, Eldon must get in, get out, and survive long enough to disappear. Baler must decide whether the law he serves is protecting the city—or protecting the people who own it.Before winter locks The Corners down, a thief could run out of places to hide—and a cop could run out of laws to trust.
