Wilson, ancien homme de main, croyait en avoir fini avec son passé. Mais quand un gangster lui confie une mission impossible, la machine infernale de la ville se remet en marche. Qui trahit qui ?
"You brought me back into this because you know what I am. I'm a grinder, I find out everything."
Bullets squared everything. Wilson left his old boss alive in exchange for a clean slate. Wilson held up his end of the bargain and stayed off the grid for two years. Two years of peace until a man came calling. The man brought a gun and a woman in his trunk. Thousands of miles from home, Wilson learns that the city doesn't let go so easily. The city is more than bricks; it is a machine running on the blood of hard men and women. The hardest man in the city remembers Wilson and he will stop at nothing to get him back.
A dangerous mobster's nephews are missing and the only suspects are his lieutenants. Wilson is pulled back to once again work under the radar - to quietly find out who is responsible, so it can be settled with screams. Wilson is back to being what he was. He's a grinder again. All bets are off and before he's done - everyone will pay.

Grinder est un polar noir d’une intensité rare, où l’on suit Wilson, un ancien homme de main, tiraillé entre sa quête de rédemption et la violence inhérente à son milieu. L’intrigue, rythmée et sans concession, explore les rouages impitoyables du crime organisé, avec des dialogues ciselés et une tension palpable à chaque page.
Ce roman aborde des thèmes forts comme la loyauté et la trahison, la rédemption impossible, et la violence comme monnaie d’échange. Il plonge aussi dans les mécanismes du crime organisé, la survie dans un monde sans pitié, et la question de savoir jusqu’où on est prêt à aller pour protéger les siens.
Grinder s’adresse aux amateurs de polars noirs, de thrillers urbains et de récits psychologiques sombres. Les lecteurs qui aiment les anti-héros complexes, les intrigues sans temps mort et les univers impitoyables y trouveront leur compte.
