the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Sleepers and Tin
Badges.
"Carcaterra's keen eye and deft style bring New York City to stunning
life. A brilliant thriller by one of the all-time greats."--Jeffery
Deaver, #1 internationally bestselling author
If there's one kind of person Tank Rizzo hates most in this world, it's
a dirty cop. Criminals are at least honest about being dishonest; dirty
cops are a disgrace to the badge they carry. Detective Eddie Kenwood is
one such disgrace. He's got the highest signed-confession rate in the
NYPD and a distinguished career built on putting men behind
bars--whether they're guilty or not doesn't matter much to him. When
Tank's partner, Pearl, tells him about an old family friend Kenwood put
in jail for a murder he didn't commit, Tank and Pearl vow to take
Kenwood down.
Also in need of a takedown: the money-laundering accounting firm where
Tank's brother used to work--before he mysteriously died, leaving Tank
the sole guardian of his nephew, Chris. Chris smells a rat, and enlists
Tank's help to bring the men who had his father killed to justice.
Working two big cases means getting out the big guns, and Tank assembles
his A-team. With help from a retired mobster, a professional boxer, a
Chelsea psychic, a dog named Gus, and the U.S. Attorney--not to mention
his and Pearl's own quick wits and Chris's burgeoning skills as a
computer whiz--Tank gears up to take on his most dangerous and personal
cases to date.
