The novel is a close cousin to police-corruption films Serpico, Prince Of The City and The Departed and tells the story of a corrupt detective in the NYPDs most elite crime-fighting unit. Sgt. Denny Malone is forced to choose between his family, his partners and his life. To stop the citys long-simmering racial tensions from exploding, he must reconcile the idealistic guardian he still views himself to be with the corrupt cop hes become. He then finds himself attacked on all sides: Harlem drug gangs, the mob hes in bed with, the brother cops hes about to destroy, the mayors office who fears what he knows and who he can implicate, the relentless federal investigators who want to put him behind bars but, most of all, his own demons. There is a strong male lead role here in the corrupt crime fighter.
Winslow spent years doing intense first-person research for the book. The New York City native returned to the streets he used to work as a private investigator to infiltrate the NYPD culture. He interviewed high-level police officials, veteran detectives and street cops and came away armed with stories of the street and home lives of cops that inform the new book. Steve Asbell will oversee the project for Fox.
