  When the country falls, the hunt begins. 
  The United States has shattered. After a devastating trade war, fewer than twenty states remain. Power is fractured. Infrastructure is crumbling. And for most, survival means trading bullets and barter. 
  Lonn Peters, once a top detective in Honolulu, now scrapes by as a streetwise bounty hunter in the ruins of Hilo—guarding shops from gang rule, haunted by the badge he left behind. But when a mysterious job pulls him to the mainland, Lonn stumbles into a world far more dangerous than he imagined. 
  A fellow investigator has vanished. The authorities want it buried. Lonn wants answers. 
  What he uncovers could rip apart the fragile alliances still holding America together—and put a target on his back bigger than anything he’s faced before. 
  Corruption runs deep. Truth is a weapon. And in a nation on the brink, trust can kill you. 
  Perfect for fans of gritty dystopian thrillers, Mark of the Triad delivers relentless action, dark intrigue, and a protagonist who refuses to quit—no matter the cost. Buckle up. This ride doesn’t slow down.

  Hailed as a masterpiece—the finest work yet by an American novelist of the first rank—this is the mysterious story of a young black man who agrees to an unusual bargain to save the home that has belonged to his family for generations. The man at Charles Blakey's door has a proposition almost too strange for words. The stranger offers him $50,000 in cash to spend the summer in Charles's basement, and Charles cannot even begin to guess why. The beautiful house has been in the Blakey family for generations, but Charles has just lost his job and is behind on his mortgage payments. The money would be welcome. But Charles Blakey is black and Anniston Bennet is white, and it is clear that the stranger wants more than a basement view. There is something deeper and darker about his request, and Charles does not need any more trouble. But financial necessity leaves him no choice. Once Anniston Bennet is installed in his basement, Charles is cast into a role he never dreamed of. Anniston has some very particular requests for his landlord, and try as he might, Charles cannot avoid being lured into Bennet's strange world. At first he resists, but soon he is tempted—tempted to understand a set of codes that has always eluded him, tempted by the opportunity to understand the secret ways of white folks. Charles's summer with a man in his basement turns into an exploration of inconceivable worlds of power and manipulation, and unimagined realms of humanity. Walter Mosley pierces long-hidden veins of justice and morality with startling insight into the deepest mysteries of human nature.
