New York City, 1910. Rocco Foscarini runs a funeral parlor in the old neighborhood—where grief is currency and silence is survival. He’s learned to keep his head down, do his work, and pretend he doesn’t notice who pays cash for closed-casket favors. Then a corpse on his table… winks. What starts as an impossible moment turns into a dangerous chain reaction: whispered deals, hidden injuries, counterfeit money, and a tightening circle of men who don’t ask twice. As Rocco’s loyalties are tested and old debts come due, he’s forced to choose between doing the right thing and staying alive long enough to regret it. The Corpse Winked is a noir-flavored, cliffhanger-driven historical crime thriller—where the dead have timing, and the living have knives.
