Description

"A first-rate police thriller."-Jonathan Kellerman Detective Frank Keogh. He's a man who trades on nerve and luck-and a cop who's about to become an executioner's target. Detective Frank Keogh has a rare gift-for killing. He picked it up in the jungles of Vietnam and perfected it on New York's mean streets. It's a talent that comes in handy when you're a sniper for the NYPD. But over the years his calling has produced a numbness that has his partner worries- Is Frank finding it too easy to pull the trigger now Then, on a steamy August night in the South Bronx, a cop connected to Frank is found bizarrely murdered. No one really believes that Keogh is capable of such a brutal act . . . until a second savagely mutilated body is found, and the MO echoes a famous case solved by Frank's father, a retired detective. Suddenly, Frank Keogh is a fugitive, dodging cops and meeting violence as he takes off on a cross-country chase to the Southwest desert . . . desperately searching for the man who framed him-and the father who could be his last, best hope of staying alive. "An epic police thriller . . . crackling with narrative energy . . . and a deep-grained savvy about cop ways and mores."-Kirkus Reviews
