Book description
Jason Palmer loved being a soldier. But after returning from Iraq
with an "other than honourable" discharge, he's finding
rebuilding his life the toughest battle yet.
Elena Cruz is a talented cop, the first woman to make Chicago's
prestigious Gang Intelligence Unit. She's ready for anything the job
can throw at her.
Until Jason's brother, a prominent communityt activist, is murdered
in front of his own son.
Now, stalked by brutal men with a shadowy agenda, Jason and Elena
must unravel a conspiracy stretching from the darkest alleys of the
ghetto to the manicured lawns of the city's power brokers. In a world
where corruption and violence are simply the cost of doing business,
two damaged people are all that stand between an innocent child - and
the killers who will stop at nothing to find him.
