From the Back Cover:

LIFE AS HE KNOWS IT IS OVER...

Charged with felony misconduct in a high-profile solicitation of murder case, detective Shane Scully has to make a choice: resign from the LAPD or face criminal prosecution. To make matters worse, his wife Alexa, the chief of detectives, is seeking a divorce citing his alleged affair with the accused, a beautiful Hollywood actress. In desperation, Shane joins the only police force that will hire disgraced cops—a small, incorporated city called Haven Park, populated almost entirely by illegal Mexican immigrants.

AND THE REAL TROUBLE IS JUST BEGINNING.

The department is a hotbed of corruption, in effect the personal goon squad of Haven Park’s mayor, Cecil Bratano. And Shane's new partner, Alonzo Bell, is one of the dirtiest cops around. But by the time he realizes the whole department is "on the grind," it's too late. Shane is trapped in a vicious game of money, lies, and murder. His estranged wife may be the only one who can get him out of this mess alive. The question is: Is she willing to?

“Stephen J. Cannell is a first-rate storyteller.”—Janet Evanovich

“[Cannell] keeps you nailed to the page.” —Ted Bell
