When investigative reporter Joe Dolan gets embedded with the Boston FBI Anti-Gang Task Force to research a story, he doesn’t expect to become part of it.
Then he’s subpoenaed to appear in court against a ruthless heroin dealer, and he realizes he’s now known to street gangs throughout Boston as a narc. Too soon, with the first kingpin in jail thanks to Dolan’s eyewitness testimony, Marco, the savage new replacement to the throne, wants to ensure Dolan won’t interfere again. To uncover Marco before Marco can take him out, Dolan must rely on his instincts and contacts in the underworld, crossing Boston on the T. His search becomes a gritty, gripping trawl through the seediest underbelly of real crime, where the price of a misstep might be your life. Jay Atkinson is an investigative reporter and rugby player who teaches writing at Boston University. He’s the author of the bestselling Legends of Winter Hill: Cops, Con Men, and Joe McCain, The Last Real Detective, and the award-winning Massacre on the Merrimack. He lives near Boston.
