"In a city where everyone's watching the wrong door, the truth slips in through the alley."

Montreal, 1935. A truck tire blows near Coteau-du-Lac, and what spills out isn't rubber—it's opium. When a well-heeled woman walks into private detective Blake Lowry's office swearing her husband's innocent, Blake is pulled into a case thick with secrets, double-crosses, and red herrings. From Chinatown raids to shady journalists, and a drug trade running through the veins of Quebec and upstate New York, nothing is as it seems—not even the dame who started it all.

With the help of his sharp-eyed secretary and lover Lucy, and his loyal assistant Gary, Blake navigates a smoky underworld of crooked cops, missing drivers, and informants who play both sides. As the bodies pile up and loyalties fray, Blake learns that in a city where everyone wears a mask, even silk can suffocate—and smoke always hides fire.
