Because Happy Endings Only Happen in Massage Parlors.
No Clean Hands
A Relentless Crime Thriller

Opportunity knocked, and he answered.

It's 1997,and Abraham "Abe" Lincoln is a homeless punk rocker scraping by on the streets of Redlands, California. He's got no plans, no prospects, and no illusions about how the world works. But when a drug deal goes sideways and leaves a dozen people dead, Abe stumbles into the aftermath, and walks away with a duffel bag full of drugs and cash that doesn't belong to him.

Now, every choice he makes matters.
The local biker gang wants to save their reputation.
A psychotic meth cook wants blood.
And the police want a nice neat end to the whole thing..

Abe has to stay ahead of all of them while dragging K.O. Katie O'Hara, his sharp-tongued, battle-hardened girlfriend (sorta) with her own demons, along for the ride. Together, they're two street-smart outcasts trying to outrun a system that was never built for people like them.

Set in the sweat-stained streets and desert outskirts of late-90s Southern California, No Clean Hands is a hard-hitting crime thriller that blends raw realism, emotionally scarred characters, and razor-sharp dialogue. This is not a story about clean getaways or easy justice. It's about what happens when survival is the only plan, and whether two people with nothing can somehow find a way out.
