Eve Mercer learned early that silence protects predators, not children, and that justice often arrives too late, if it arrives at all.

Now, when the law looks away, Eve acts.

She targets powerful child molesters who hide behind respectability and harm children with impunity. Her killings are precise and clean.Each one is marked with a two-dollar-bill.

The Deuce is not about revenge.

It is about prevention.

A haunting, razor-sharp thriller about trauma, love, loss, and what happens when women decide that saving children matters more than protecting monsters.

When Eve Mercer learns that her husband's abuser has been murdered and marked with The Deuce's signature two-dollar bill, she begins hunting for the person responsible and the reason behind it.

As Eve follows the trail, she uncovers a hidden world of trafficked girls, conditioned survivors, and predators who turn fear and dependence into power. Forced into an uneasy alliance with the officers who once hunted her, Eve must confront an enemy who understands her methods and stays one step ahead.

What begins with one body becomes something far larger: a fight not only to stop the people who sell children’s bodies, but to build something that fortifies the survivors.
