Hemlock
When a covert operator with links to Charlie Cooper is killed, the trail leads to a secret outfit few believe is real: Hemlock.
No witnesses. No records. No proof it ever existed. Just rumours, half-forgotten files, and a growing body count.
As Cooper digs deeper, the evidence keeps disappearing—and so do the people who get too close. Hemlock doesn’t operate in the shadows. It owns them, using blackmail, corruption and murder to shape events from the inside.
The closer Cooper gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes: this isn’t a conspiracy you expose.
It’s one you survive.
Because Hemlock has endured for decades by doing one thing better than anyone else—making sure it’s forgotten.
