Luke Walton

On a bustling Chicago corner, Luke Walton stands out among the flock of newsboys. Tall, well‑dressed, and self‑assured, he prefers to work alone, selling the last papers of the day. One evening a stranger named Benjamin Afton pays him five dollars for the change on two newspapers, insisting on a promise of repayment tomorrow. The unexpected generosity leaves Luke both puzzled and uneasy, hinting that something larger may be afoot.

That single encounter drags Luke into a series of strange events—a mysterious letter, an attack in the dark, and whispers of theft that begin to swirl around his name. As he navigates the crowded streets, the city’s undercurrents of ambition and deceit start to surface, drawing friends and foes alike into his orbit. Listeners will follow his quick wit and moral compass as he tries to untangle the knot before it tightens.
