This is a riveting drama of two generations of New York cops and of two men, an uncle and his nephew, who dared challenge the fabled "blue wall" of silence. The novel begins in 1992, in a majestic courtroom on Long Island, where a young and much-decorated New York City Police Sergeant, Steven Holt, is about to stand trial for triple homicide. In its intense telling, the story uncovers decades of deceit and corruption that infiltrate families and threaten to ruin the force. Reflecting the proud yet troubled history of the NYPD, the novel is a searing, up-close portrait of the men and women who live- and die -in the pursuit of criminal justice.
