Synopsis
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 . . . .

From the Back Cover
"A power-punching police procedural thriller . . . combines Lawrence Sanders-style crime with Joseph Wambaugh's insight into police life."--Publisher's Weekly.
"His knowledge of life inside an urban police force is extraordinary, and his detailed word-pictures of ballistics tests, fingerprint techniques and department stag parties make this arcane blue world come alive."-- The New York Times Book Review
From Library Journal
This second police procedural by the author of One Police Plaza deals with the death of an exemplary police lieutenant and the owner of a neighborhood candy store in an apparent robbery attempt. Lt. Tony Scanlon's investigation turns up more questions than answers as he sifts through an odd assortment of characters, the seemingly unrelated murder of the candy store owner's son and his wife, and discovers that "role model" Joe Gallagher's behavior on and off "the Job" left something to be desired. A retired police veteran, Caunitz paints a vivid, violent picture of police work and the people involved on either side of the law, but the graphic descriptions of amputee Scanlon's sexual difficulties and his efforts to solve them seem excessive and will undoubtedly offend some. Still, enthusiasts of the genre will find much to enjoy here. Judith A. Gifford, Salve Regina Coll. Lib., Newport, R.I.
