Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
'McNamara is an excellent writer of detective fiction, every bit the equal of--and often more in control than--Joseph Wambaugh.'
--San Francisco Chronicle
No one knows the real world of modern day cops like Joseph D. McNamara. In his new novel, this former beat cop and big-city police chief takes you inside the maelstrom that America's front line foot soldiers face everyday--from the street snitches to the thugs in City Hall, from the deals that get cut to the danger that never lets you go. . . .
Kevin McKay is a hometown boy who grew up to be a cop. Now he's out of the fire and into the heat--transferred from narcotics to a serial rape case that is turning into murder. But while McKay scours San Francisco from the Tenderloin to Chinatown for a perp known only as Ski Mask, a web of betrayal is being spun by the most dangerous enemies a cop can ever have--the ones who carry a badge.
Trusting no one--not his bosses, not the rich lady he's falling in love with--McKay is fighting back against a death trap with his wits, his courage, and his honor . . . on streets stained forever with blood.

I never heard of the author but someone gave me the book. It was alot better than some James Patterson (Jack & Jill) and Joseph Wambaugh (Hollywood Station) I have read lately. At the end it's a little silly because everything dovetails so the hero winds up with the hot girl and alot of $$$. But the book flows nicely and it is a good story. If you need a book for an airplane flight, this will serve your purpose.
