    About this ebook

    Det. John Adriani is the only ALMOST honest cop in a corrupt Miami precinct under full investigation while a Category 4 hurricane comes ashore. Pressured by two fellow officers to commit one last crime, he realizes it’s just as likely to get them all killed. But it’s when inexperienced but headstrong I.A. investigator Christine Parks (with secrets of her own) shows up that everything really goes haywire!

    For the bad cops, the urgency to cover up their corruption, steal a fortune in drug money out of their own Evidence Room safe, and then disappear in the face of the rapidly rising storm leads to escalating violence and non-stop tension. Crossing the line was easy, but getting back is nearly impossible!
