The Pitch

A high-finance noir thriller where loyalty fractures, power corrupts, and one man's mind becomes the most dangerous weapon in the room.

Michael has spent his career navigating the hidden machinery of Wall Street - mortgage trades, warehouse lines, billions moving invisibly through the system. But nothing in finance compares to the pressure of the scheme he and his crew are about to pull off: the biggest wire-fraud heist in history.

The plan should have been airtight.

Until Phil joined the team.

Phil's presence changes everything. His influence is unnerving, his persuasion unnatural, and his temper lethal. What begins as subtle manipulation evolves into something far more disturbing - a supernatural force Michael can neither understand nor control. When bodies begin to drop and the stakes escalate beyond greed, the crew is forced to confront the monster in their midst, as well as the monsters within themselves.

As Michael spirals through violence, guilt, love, addiction, and betrayal, he must face a final truth: some pressures break a man, and some reshape him into something unrecognizable.

Set against the ruthless pulse of the mortgage markets, The Pitch is a dark, cinematic novella blending psychological tension, supernatural horror, and financial-world grit-perfect for readers of James Ellroy, Michael Crichton, Don Winslow, and Stephen King's darker short fiction.

Power has a price. Some men pay it in blood.
