About this ebook
A recent graduate of the NYPD's cadet academy, Jimmy McSwain dreams of anything except being a cop. He has a complicated history with the police, and it isn't from a rap sheet. Years ago, his police officer father was gunned down during an off-duty incident, leaving Jimmy bitter that his killer was never found.
Now, trained in the art of law, Jimmy decides to embark on a new career: that of private detective. But he just can't get his own license; he needs experience. What happens will lead Jimmy into a part of New York he doesn't know, realizing he's the stranger in a neighborhood that lives by its own rules.
His mother, Maggie McSwain, is skeptical about his job but there's nothing she can do to stop her headstrong son from entering this shadowy new world. As a warm spring settles over the city, a twist of fate has Jimmy taking on his first case, one that is a time bomb ready to explode.
What he can't leave behind is the memory of his father, and the silver shield which he earned only out of respect. Can he live with his decision?
