Flowers and Gunpowder
by Michael Vincent
In the cold shadows of St. Jude’s Chapel, Ophelia Crestwell sings for the dead.
Her voice is soft, haunting, and unforgettable — the only warmth left inside a city drowning in rain, corruption, and violence. But when a mysterious man in a black suit begins appearing at her funeral performances, silently watching from the back pews, Ophelia finds herself drawn into a dangerous world hidden beneath the city’s crumbling streets.
He is known only as The Cleaner — a ruthless enforcer for a powerful criminal syndicate, a man who erases problems with clinical precision and leaves no witnesses behind. Yet instead of fear, he leaves her envelopes filled with money, midnight summonses, and a dangerous fascination she cannot escape.
As shattered stained glass, bloodstained pews, and whispered conspiracies begin closing around her, Ophelia realizes the man haunting the chapel may be both her greatest threat… and her only protection.
Darkly atmospheric and emotionally charged, Flowers and Gunpowder is a gothic noir romance filled with obsession, violence, haunting music, and the fragile beauty that survives in the ruins.
