by Robert Daley

Overview

New York. Inside police headquarters. New deputy police commissioner Phil Keefe is ambitious, idealistic, and trying to survive police politics and the random, brutal crime in the streets. A sudden crisis and a murderous shootout catapult him into the limelight, and into a deadly whirlpool of political sharks and treachery. Now he is facing charges. The city he swore to protect is out to destroy him. The woman he loves is pursuing her career just when he needs her most. And Phil Keefe is beginning the trial of his life.

Editorial Reviews

“Daley is so good at capturing the atmosphere of police work…compulsive reading…a long slow climb to the top, a heart-in-your-throat plunge and then a last quick corner at the end.” ---The New York Times Book Review
