From award-winning author Eliot Parker comes the gripping story of a cop who must fight to protect a city and his family from a dangerous new drug threatening to rip the city apart. When off-duty Charleston police sergeant Ronan McCullough responds to the assault of a college student outside a downtown sports bar, he is brutally attacked and nearly killed by the assailants. As he struggles with the physical and emotional damage and doggedly pursues the perpetrators, his personal and professional relationships are strained to the limit, and what he uncovers in his investigation takes him to the heart of a deadly drug ring threatening the very core of the city. "A gripping and gritty police thriller that kept me rapt in its pages until the end. The book is an easy read to get into it was competently written, featured likable characters, and had an evenly paced infusion of mystery, action and adult romance." - Lisa-Brown Gilbert , Pacific Book Review
