Mavis’s Note: A Toby Dunbar Novel
The money made men greedy.

Mavis’s note makes them afraid.
After the basement bloodshed, Toby Dunbar hopes the worst of Lou Money’s Money has passed. But the neighborhood does not forget that easily. The fake money story spreads. The old men keep whispering. And soon the question changes.
People stop asking only where the money is.
They start asking what Mavis left Toby.
To Toby, the note is personal. It is Mavis’s voice, her fear, her regret, and maybe her last attempt to tell the truth before death closed the door. But to the street, the note becomes something else: a possible treasure map, a secret list, a piece of Lou Money’s hidden power.

Then Sandy May sees what Toby never noticed.
Beneath Mavis’s writing is the faint impression of another list: names and dates pressed into the paper before Mavis ever wrote her note. Some names are hard to read. Four are clear.

Danner. Mason. Bellor. Kongo.

Now Toby does not know who to trust. The cops want the note. Gangsters want the note. Dirty men want the note buried.
And somewhere inside Mavis’s last words is a truth dangerous enough to get everyone close to Toby killed.
