      About This Book

      Six brutalized bodies lie at the bottom of a ditch within the boundaries of the 87th Precinct. Six nameless corpses-three men, two women, one baby ... all dead. The city's most gruesome mass murder in years sends the dedicated cops of the 87th racing into the explosive heart of a vicious private street war--only to get caught in a bloody crossfire of power and revenge that threatens to mow down the innocent along with the guilty.
