Catcheside - Elias Cross;Paul Joseph Dutton

Catcheside. (Non-illustrated Edition)
A ghost in the shadows. A signature in blood-red ink. In London's underworld, the King of Diamonds has arrived.

Goniff "Gee" Catcheside doesn't believe in luck. He believes in precision, planning, and the three lethal women who make his impossible heists look like theatre. Known to the police only as "Gee," he is a phantom who can bypass biometric locks and laser grids, leaving behind nothing but a single King of Diamonds playing card as his mark.

Backed by The Sirens-three professionals with skills as sharp as their instincts-Gee's operations are a masterclass in deception:

Jade: The cold, calculating psychologist who identifies the mark.

Carmen: The tech-ghost who manipulates infrastructure and erases digital footprints.

Lola: The chaotic "wild card" who uses seduction and distraction to carve the path for Gee's extraction.

But in a city where secrets are currency, even the perfect plan can draw the wrong eyes. From the glittering auction houses of Mayfair to the brutal, smoke-stained estates of East London, the net is tightening.

Sergeant Paul Peachy isn't like other cops. He doesn't chase; he waits. When he recognizes the flourish on a "Gee" card from a childhood boxing club, the hunt becomes personal. Peachy and Gee were brothers once, but life pulled them down opposite alleys-one to the badge, and one to the shadows.

As a sadistic predator named Louie begins targeting Gee's crew to settle old scores, the professional thief must decide how much he is willing to bleed for his family of Sirens.

In the end, the only question is: Who's catching who?

This Story is the birth of the Catcheside universe.
