The year is 2008. The nation teeters on the edge as Wall Street implodes and a bruising presidential election nears its explosive finale. Amid the chaos, Private Detective Glenn Wozniak is fighting his own demons, drowning them in bottom-shelf whiskey and bad decisions. When Glenn awakes from a bender, he barely remembers accepting a job from a high-powered banker with too much money and too many secrets. The task seems simple: dig up dirt on a rising political star. It's the kind of assignment Glenn could sleepwalk through—and given his condition, he almost does. But everything changes when a passionate young activist turns up dead, and Glenn realizes he's no longer a spectator. He's a pawn in a game where power players pull strings from the shadows, and every move could be his last. A gritty, razor-sharp thriller steeped in noir atmosphere, political intrigue, and moral ambiguity, Free Money will leave you questioning how far the powerful will go to protect their empire—and what it truly costs to stand in their way.
