A string of brutal murders has bodies piling up in Brooklyn, and Detective Frankie Donovan knows what is going on. Clues left at the crime scenes point to someone from the old neighborhood, and that isn''t good.

Frankie has taken two oaths in his life—the one he took to uphold the law when he became a cop, and the one he took with his two best friends when they were eight years old and inseparable. 

Those relationships have forced Frankie to make many tough decisions, but now he faces the toughest one of his life; he has five murders to solve and one of those two friends is responsible. If Frankie lets him go, he breaks the oath he took as a cop and risks losing his job. But if he tries to bring him in, he breaks the oath he kept for twenty-five years—and risks losing his life.

In the neighborhood where Frankie Donovan grew up, you never broke an oath. 

Detective Connie Giannelli''s life has been torn apart several times. First when her mother died and then years later when she found out her Uncle Dominic was in the mob. Her life is about to be shredded again, and this time it could destroy her.

Connie’s love of family and her badge are both threatened when an undercover drug bust leaves two cops dead and the drugs missing. Internal Affairs is looking for any excuse to take her badge, but she’s not worried about them finding the missing drugs—her secrets could prove to be far worse.

Now Connie’s racing against the clock to figure out who killed her partners and took the drugs—dirty cops or Uncle Dominic’s friends. And she has to do it before IA pins the whole damn thing on her.   

Lisa Benz was brilliant, street smart, and full of potential. She could have had any job she wanted, but she decided to join the police force. She didn’t join to carry on a family tradition, or to fulfill a lifelong dream. She didn’t join to impress anyone or make her mark on society. She joined for one reason only—a promise she made to a young girl.

Beautiful eBook formatting is not expensive; in fact, it''s more reasonable than you think. For years, I paid handsomely for someone to format my ebooks, not to mention I had to wait a week or two to get it done; now, I do it myself. I save money and I get it done in one night.

Aren''t your readers worth more than a plain vanilla eBook, thrown together by an automated conversion system? 

By the way, this book is guaranteed. If you don''t think it was worth the money, write to me and get a refund or another book of equal value. It''s your choice.

What do you do when logic tells you to do one thing, but your heart tells you to do another? 

That’s the problem Nicky Fusco is facing when Rosa’s friend is kidnapped and she asks him to help.

After being married for 25 years, I realized that I no longer wanted to be married. What should I do?

The simple answer was file for divorce, but life was seldom that simple, and mine certainly wasn’t. There was the house to consider, two cars, the jewelry—and the safe deposit box. I thought about the options and finally decided that murder was the best solution—not the easiest, but the best—and I knew just how to do it.
