Synopsis: In 1957, a young cop boxes his way to a gold shield, and finds corruption everywhere he turnsBefore he became one of the most feared detectives in the New York Police Department, Stanley Moodrow was a boxer. A big kid with sledgehammer fists and a body that didn&’t know when to quit, he won his first twenty bouts handily, and might have gone pro if he saw a future in it. But the men in Moodrow&’s family have always been cops, and he wanted to join their ranks. As a young recruit, Moodrow knows that the pain he has suffered in the ring puts him a step ahead of the fresh-faced youngsters around him. Using his boxing talent as a way to get the attention of the brass, he wins his detective&’s badge in record time. But when he starts life among the elite, he learns that there is nothing in the department that can&’t be bought. Even the blood of the innocents has a price tag.
