A San Antonio Police Chief with a wicked past few know about and no one can resolve assembles and operates a gun-running, murderous crime ring from the top law enforcement seat in the city. What he says goes. Who he orders dead, killed. His crimes and those of his team are so quickly and cleverly concealed, his reputation seems unimpeachable.
How can he fail after years of untouched success? Who can figure out the system he's perfected to hide his crimes? Who can take him down?
Officer Bryan Smith, an officer in the department with only five years of police work to his credit notices a small change in one of his reports; a change he did not make; and worries that a fellow officer is trying to sabotage his career. The more evidence he sees mounting that someone is after his next promotion, the harder he pushes for answers and support from above him. And when the answers start coming, rapid-fire, from an unexpected ally, he's unprepared for the fallout. When the big guy goes down, his family and people in the highest ranks of the department go down with him in a flurry of arrests.
