Whether cops organg bangers, every organization has its filthy few, the people willing and able to do anything to forward their cause. Rookie police officers David Morrison and Jake Radix are determined to advance their careers in the drug squad by any means necessary.No longer on the force, Karen Grant is now working as a journalist and one of her two sources has just been murdered in what police have written off as a drug deal gone bad. When Grant and witness Ann Falconer become hunted themselves, Grant can think of only one person to turn to: ex-partner and disgraced detective Steve Nastos and his lawyer friend Kevin Carscadden. When the rookie cops, outlaw bikers, and Nastos meet in an inevitable confrontation, only those willing to cross any line are going to survive.

Reviews

"Cain ramps up the suspense to fever pitch and follows the exciting ending with an ambiguous denouement that augurs another story." --"Publishers Weekly" on "Dark Matter"
"The conviction with which Cain writes and Nastos's hard-nosed moral ambiguities makes for one-sitting reading--at least for those willing to risk an extended journey through some unsavory places where being rich or poor doesn't matter in the least." --"National Post" on "Dark Matter"
"This novel delivers on all levels: action, courtroom drama, the reality of a police culture we'd prefer not to acknowledge, and a show-stopping climax that is soul satisfying, one that plants an eagerness for another novel about Toronto detective Steve Nastos." --"Hamilton Spectator" on "Cherry Beach Express"
