The Freeman

"The Freeman" by William Ubagan He walked away from bloodshed. Now blood calls him back. In the seedy underbelly of the city, where loyalty is currency and violence settles debts, one man thought he had escaped. Dean "The Freeman" Calder—once the most feared hitman on the streets—has built a quiet life far from the chaos he once knew. But peace is shattered when his hotheaded younger brother makes a fatal mistake: killing the wife of a ruthless mafia boss. Now the clock is ticking. With forty-eight hours before the city’s deadliest contract killers come knocking, Freeman must resurrect the skills he swore to bury. As bullets fly and bodies fall, he races through a city soaked in corruption to protect the only family he has left. But every step toward redemption unearths his past. Every kill drags him closer to the man he tried to forget. And with the mafia’s fury closing in, Freeman must confront a brutal truth—some sins never stay buried, and in a world ruled by blood, freedom comes at a deadly cost. The Freeman is a visceral crime thriller pulsing with action, betrayal, and the unforgiving weight of brotherhood.
