About this title

From the Publisher:

"Caunitz gives us the authentic stink and hustle of precinct police work."--John D. MacDonald.

"The action builds with such intensity you'll race to finish one police plaza--then immediately regret there aren't hundreds more pages to read."--New York Daily News.

"The real stuff. . .a helluva book."--Playboy.

A nude corpse in a bathtub. Name: Sara Eisinger. Occupation: travel agent. For Detective Lt. Dan Malone of New York's Fifth Precinct, it's all in a day's work. Until a little gold key in Sara's possession leads him to an after-hours sex club. Until two phone numbers in her address book connect to the CIA. Until he's neck deep in a mystery involving the Israel Mossad, Muslim extremists, the U.S. Army, and the NYPD. Then, from the top, heat comes down hard on Malone to get off the case. But it's already too late-Malone is obsessed. He puts everything on the line--his job, his love, his life--as he unearths a terrifying conspiracy in the core of the department. . .a time bomb of double deals and killer cops that could rip apart the NYPD and the city it's sworn to protect.

"An authentic insider's view of the way real cops function. . . the all-out finish is as exciting as any you're likely to read."--John Godey, author of The Taking Of Pelham 1-2-3

"He knows more about cops and what moves them than Joseph Wambaugh or George V. Higgins."--The New York Times Book Review
