The Ghost Outfit

The Ghost Outfit: Chicago, 1926. New York, 2025. Ninety-nine years is a long way to fall.

When Sal Messina, a Chicago Outfit lieutenant, walks into a warehouse ambush and disappears from 1926, he lands in a Tribeca lab with blood on his coat and a century of catching up to do. The man who built the machine that took him, Alikai Bolton, has a problem of his own: the timeline is breaking, his hand is slowly becoming transparent, and the only fix is to send Sal back to the night someone tried to kill him.

Sal has fifty-eight days. Fifty-eight days to learn a world built on screens and signals and the particular indignity of needing a phone to buy a cup of coffee. Fifty-eight days to help bring down the tech billionaire who wants the machine for himself. Fifty-eight days to sit with the knowledge of who arranged the ambush and decide what the Code requires.

And fifty-eight days in the company of two people, he will spend the rest of his life not forgetting.

The Ghost Outfit is a noir time-travel novel about honour, the distance between centuries, and a man who went back by choice.

He knew what was waiting in the warehouse. He went back anyway. That is who he was.
