Description
New York City. Two summers. Twenty years apart. One debt that won't stay buried.
In the sweltering heat of 1963, rookie beat cop Jack Meara is left bleeding on a tenement floor beside a murdered partner. He survives -- but the shooter doesn't just walk free. "Tony Boy" Maiella rises through the Mafia ranks, untouchable, immune, wrapped in tailored suits and sealed indictments.
Meara does what good cops are supposed to do: he waits.
Justice never comes.
By 1983, with retirement looming and the city as corrupt as ever, Meara makes a final, reckless decision -- a personal war disguised as police work. Bodies begin to surface: a stalked go-go bartender, a dead bookie in the Jersey Pinelands, a corpse in a neighborhood dumpster. Machine guns light up the night. The cases don't connect -- until they do.
Rookie detective Ronnie Valerio is pulled into the wake of Meara's crusade, forced to choose between the badge, the brotherhood, and the truth. As the line between right and wrong dissolves, every decision carries a price -- and some debts can only be paid in blood.
A gritty, morally charged crime novel, this is a story about loyalty, vengeance, and the dangerous question at the heart of every broken system:
How far would you go to make things right -- when the law won't?
