A disillusioned ex-cop is drawn back into danger in this тАЬrock-solid series debutтАЭ by the New York TimesтАУbestselling author of the Dexter novels (Booklist).
┬а
When a hostage situation turns deadly, Billy Knight loses everythingтАФhis wife, his daughter, and his career in law enforcement. Devastated, he heads to Key West to put down his gun and pick up a rod and reel as a fishing boat captain. But former co-worker Roscoe McAuley isnтАЩt ready to let Billy rest.
┬а
When Roscoe tells Billy that his son was the victim of premeditated murder during the riots following the Rodney King trial, Billy sends him away. When Roscoe himself turns up dead a few weeks later, however, Billy canтАЩt keep from getting sucked back into Los Angeles, and the streets that took so much from him.
┬а
BillyтАЩs investigations into the death of a former cop, and his son, will take him up to the highest echelons of the LAPD, finding corruption at every level. It puts him on a collision course with the law, with his past, with his former fellow officers, and with the dark aftermath of the civil rights movementтАФin a case with more dangerous blind curves than Mulholland Drive.
┬а
тАЬSustains a high level of excitement, capped by a stunning climax, and introduces a smoothly characterized cast, especially Billy, with his gallows humor.тАЭ тАФPublishers Weekly
