Two cops had gone missing, and their boss wanted to know what had happened to them.

His gun slipped out of his hands and came into the doorway.There was another guy with my dying friend-a guy with the most surprised face in New York. He wore a hat over his eyes, but I could see a crooked nose and thin lips and a fat-jowled jaw.I said, "Sleep tight, punk."I let him have it.There's something about me makes me ornery when guys pump lead into my doorway late at night.

Larry Kent's old buddy Jim Calloway was murdered over a woman … so they said. But who was the woman? No one seemed to know-not even Jim's killer. Larry suspected the woman was just a diversion. There was another reason for Jim's death. And just maybe it had something to do with his job with the Narcotics Bureau.
