No one knows the real world of modern day cops like Joseph D. McNamara. In his new novel, this former beat cop and big-city police chief takes you inside the maelstrom that America's front line foot soldiers face everyday-from the street snitches to the thugs in City Hall, from the deals that get cut to the danger that never lets you go...
Kevin McKay is a hometown boy who grew up to be a cop. Now he's out of the fire and into the heat-transferred from narcotics to a serial rape case that is turning into murder. But while McKay scours San Francisco from the Tenderloin to Chinatown for a perp known only as Ski Mask, a web of betrayal is being spun by the most dangerous enemies a cop can ever have-the ones who carry a badge.
Trusting no one-not his bosses, not the rich lady he's falling in love with-McKay is fighting back against a death trap with his wits, his courage, and his honor ... on streets stained forever with blood.
