Racing to stop a drug war, Marcelle and Bernie don't realize they're about to be caught in a deadly crossfire: another man is circling in the wings, one of Thornton's soldiers from Vietnam, who's preparing to exact his long-sought revenge against his former mentor. He's the last person anyone would ever suspect, and when he finally makes his move, the paths of these four people will explosively converge.'.

"A well-crafted gangland crime thriller with a fascinating military subplot and a deliciously mysterious villain." -BestThrillers.com

"A sharply defined, engrossing cast elevates this crime caper." -Kirkus Reviews

In the shadowy streets of 1980s Chicago, will the tangled web of crime and history reveal its dark secrets before it's too late?

Major Henry Sampson, a seasoned veteran from the Vietnam War, finds himself entangled in a covert operation that stretches decades. Meanwhile, Detective Marcelle DeSantis, driven and determined, navigates the dangerous world of gang-related murders, alongside her steady but tenacious partner Bernie Bernardelli.

Will Marcelle and Bernie uncover the truth behind the murders and drug trafficking before the city plunges deeper into chaos? Can they piece together the past and present to stop a deadly conspiracy?

A gripping thriller that intertwines crime, mystery, and historical fiction, where failure means the perpetuation of a cycle of violence years in the making.
