Mike Friel, a private investigator of sorts, did the dirty work for Duffy and Associates. His partner, Jake Duffy, was gunned down in cold blood outside his office. Jake Duffy spent twenty years on the NYPD and another seventeen years as a private investigator. His life mission was to take down Johnny Testeverde, leader of organized crime family in Brooklyn. The police first accuse Friel of killing Jake, then they decide it was a robbery. Mike Friel is left to take matters into his own hands. He must solve the case himself to clear his name and vindicate the man who was like a father to him. He connects with an old friend and love Francine, who happens to be the daughter of Jake Duffy. With her help, he explores the possibilities...Was it the life-long rival, Testeverde? Was it the new case Jake had taken on and not yet told him about? Or someone no one expected? The twists and turns will leave you guessing. "Mike Frield is such a likable main character that he deserves a series of books. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough." Great Job!"
