When a late-night smoke break turns into a nightmare, disgraced security guard Ron Downing becomes the prime suspect in a brutal double murder. With his freedom hanging by a thread and a shady past threatening to swallow him whole, Ron goes on the run. Teaming up with Thumper—a sharp-witted drifter—Ron follows a trail of cryptic clues that point to something far bigger than a frame job.  A shadowy network known only as the MARX Beasts.

Twenty years later, a devastating stadium bombing reignites old questions and forces unlikely allies—a disgraced detective, a narcissistic paranormal celebrity, and the fugitive couple themselves—into a high-stakes race to expose the Beasts before they strike again. Packed with twists, betrayals, and a chilling conspiracy, MARX Beasts is a pulse-pounding blend of noir, paranormal intrigue, and relentless cat-and-mouse suspense.
