📖 Story
A marshal discovers that the threat to his witness doesn't come from outside—it's embedded within his own agency. In Eraser, trust becomes a lethal commodity when corruption runs deep enough to topple governments. Caught between duty and survival, one man must risk everything to protect an innocent woman while exposing the rot that's consumed the institution he served. Betrayal, deception, and high-stakes action collide in a race against time where the only way out might be to disappear entirely.
