Police Officers Michael Beckett and Destiny Jones are two of the most compelling characters ever created by novelist Thomas Fitzsimmons. Now the author, who has been called "A worthy successor to Ed McBain" by New York Times bestselling author, Steven Coonts, returns with a new tale about the dynamic duo. Returning to the streets and bars of the Upper East Side of Manhattan, Beckett and Destiny are only just coming to terms with their true feelings for one another. But their worlds suddenly shifts gears when an ex-cop recruits Beckett into his gang of "rockers"-a secret society of vigilante cops who protect businesses from shakedowns for a price. It appears that a violent drug ring has taken control of an upper east side boutique hotel. The gang needs to be cleaned out and an old girlfriend of Becketts, an amoral tart who happens to own the place, needs saving. This leads Beckett and Destiny into one of the deadliest, most tangled operations of their lives as he pursues the drug kingpin who killed his baby sister, and Destiny is forced to confront life as an invalid or a death with dignity.
