The fog rolling off San Francisco Bay doesn't just hide the dead. It covers up the sins of the living.

This city fell to the infected a long time ago, but even in the ruined remains of the 1930s, greed still pays out in blood. When a desperate client walked into my office looking for a stolen shipping ledger, she handed me a suicide mission: scale a thirty-story Art Deco high-rise on Nob Hill that's crawling with the walking dead. That little book is the key to reclaiming a stolen fortune and buying passage out of this hellhole for innocent refugees. But I'm not the only one climbing those stairs.

The embezzler who ruined her hired a rival scavenger to burn the ledger and silence anyone who gets in the way. I know him by name and reputation. He's got my skills and my grit.

Now, I'm trapped in a luxury penthouse with a killer in the shadows and a massive horde of the dead pounding at the reinforced doors below. In a world where the law is dead and survival means doing the unthinkable, it comes down to a simple equation: what is a man willing to pay to keep looking at himself in the mirror without flinching?

Step into the fog and find out in The Red Ledger, the thrilling new chapter of The Dead Don't Sleep: A Zombie Noir Narrative Podcast.
