Publisher's Synopsis
Mercer Early, a young lawyer at one of America's most prestigious, predominantly black law firms, has just been assigned to a case of an L.A. cop, who has shot and killed his wife. The case seems routine enough - that is, until two more previously non-violent cops kill their spouses in cold blood. The three have some strange things in common, but the LAPD vehemently denies any connection, and when the FBI issues Mercer a warning to stay off the case, he finds himself on a wild ride that takes him from the corridoors of law and order to the lawless streets of L.A.
