Brooklyn. Early June. A man strolls into a candy store, pulls out a sawed-off shotgun, and blows away two people: owner Yetta Zimmerman and her customer, NYPD Lt. Joe Gallagher. Suddenly it is a very hot summer for Detective Lt. Tony Scanlon. For this is just the first in a series of brutal, inexplicable hits that lead Scanlon on a journey into the nightmare universe that cops and criminals cohabit . . . and deep into the private tragedies of his own life . . . then deeper still into his other life, the job, where he uncovers a frightening hidden world riddled with suspects in blue. But it all begins with the opening double murder and a moment of shock when Scanlon opens that dead lieutenant's locker . . . .

A nude corpse in a bathtub. Name: Sara Eisinger. Occupation: travel agent. For Detective Lt. Dan Malone of New York's Fifth Precinct, it's all in a day's work. Until a little gold key in Sara's possession leads him to an after-hours sex club. Until two phone numbers in her address book connect to the CIA. Until he's neck deep in a mystery involving the Israel Mossad, Muslim extremists, the U.S. Army, and the NYPD. Then, from the top, heat comes down hard on Malone to get off the case. But it's already too late-Malone is obsessed. He puts everything on the line--his job, his love, his life--as he unearths a terrifying conspiracy in the core of the department. . .a time bomb of double deals and killer cops that could rip apart the NYPD and the city it's sworn to protect.
