Discretion is the key word two young rookies on the New York Police Department must employ.

Jim Mackery subdues a cop killer in his road to detective, but his best friend Frankie Driscoll ends up in prison. Driscoll's undercover detail must be kept from Mackery and mistrust creates a rift in the friendship until a rogue police sergeant, pedophile priest and shared childhood secret loom large in the investigation of a runaway's murder. .,."an imaginative, fast-paced thriller with ironic twists and surprises a-plenty. Dennis J. McGowan is a stand-out writer with a future in an already highly competitive field." --Dan Mahoney, former NYPD Captain and Author: "Detective First Grade"; "Edge of the City"; "Black and White" "Dennis McGowan writes like a runaway train--fast and powerfully." --Lewis Frumkes, author of "How to Raise Your I.Q. by Eating Gifted Children" "The sense of time and place is so palpable you can smell and taste it...well written, fast paced, heart felt, and dramatic. The author's most stunning accomplishment was to evoke a world that is so real it's impossible not to believe. A great first novel." --Ed Dee, former NYPD Lieutenant, author of "Nightbird" and "14 Peck Slip"
