“Book Descriptions: Special Operations detective Matt Payne and his colleagues have their hands full. With the commission of a brutal crime, an ongoing investigation into a squad of dirty cops suddenly turns ugly, and Payne must track down a key piece of evidence before things grow even worse. At the same time, a woman he meets at a party may provide a vital link to a group of urban terrorists. If he doesn't act now, the woman will disappear. Over the next few days, Payne needs - and uses - all of his skills to survive. From the cop on the beat to the commissioner himself, W. E. B. Griffin has woven a narrative of men and women who put their lives on the line. It's police drama at its best.
