Synopsis: The NYPD hides a killer within the ranks in this &“dark, satisfying&” hard-boiled noir thriller (Publishers Weekly). Detective Boots Littlewood of Brooklyn&’s Sixty-Fourth Precinct has been assigned an investigation that&’s hitting close to home: the murder of his police captain. It&’s been called another tragic cop killing. Boots suspects something closer to an organized hit—and he knows in his gut that the perp in custody is an innocent man. Boots&’s new partner, &“Crazy&” Jill Kelly, is taking it personally, too. The daughter of a murdered officer, she&’s got a quick temper, a vengeful streak, and perfect aim. Once Boots and Jill hit the streets, they uncover more than dirty secrets. The investigation reaches back a decade to the sordid serial crimes of the Lipstick Killer—and ahead to a cesspool of corruption and conspiracy that taints the badges of New York&’s finest. But as Boots and Jill prepare for hunting season, they realize that they themselves are being hunted.
