New York, 1929. Joe Quinn has been given a shot at the NYPD's main headquarters squad and his first case is one that could put his name up in lights: a banker takes a dive from a tall building on to Wall Street. All the signs point to murder. Soon the dead man has company; a group of old buddies is being taken out, in a particularly gruesome manner.

The days of corruption are supposed to be over, but nothing in Manhattan is that simple.

For Quinn, the case swiftly becomes a nightmare from which he cannot escape. And the path seems to lead inexorably towards his own father, once New York's foremost celebrity cop.
