The dramatic new novel in Griffin's New York Times-
bestselling chronicle of the Philadelphia police force.
There's a sudden spike in murders in Philadelphia, but no
one seems to mind much because the victims all seem to be
lowlifes. The more Homicide Sergeant Matthew Payne
investigates, however, the more he gets a bad feeling-one
that only gets worse when vigilante groups spring up
claiming credit for some of the hits, even though Payne
knows it can't be true. As the targets get bigger and
events start moving out of control, Payne realizes that if
he and his colleagues can't figure out who's behind this
very soon, the violence could overtake them all. Filled
with authentic color and detail, this is a riveting novel
of the men and women who put their lives on the line-
storytelling at its absolute best.
