When Los Angeles Police Department Deputy Chief Jim McGann goes out for his morning jog, he finds a car blocking his driveway. It's no ordinary car, though. It's a cop car and in the trunk is
the naked, mutilated body of police officer Alexandra Williams. For the LAPD brass, it's an unmitigated nightmare they're determined to clean up fast and keep from the public. For Mike Turner,
the investigator for Internal Affairs who's assigned the case, it's a double edged sword�� chance to become a real cop again or have his career destroyed. For the reader, it's a rare insider
look into one of our country's most controversial police departments.
