Detective Dane Riley knows what it means to be defenseless--he spent his childhood that way. That's the reason he always wanted to join the force. Keeping innocents from getting hurt is what he lives for. But arresting the bad guys isn't enough when a few slick lawyers can keep the scum from the justice they've earned.Still, if that's the game the law wants to play, Dane will play to win. Who's going to miss a few rapists and murderers, anyway? Not the public. They love it when the predators turn into prey. And if it gives his fellow officers an easier job, even better. All anyone knows is that he's a good cop. No one knows him as the killer of killers.But then things go downhill. The official story is that the crime boss committed suicide, but the family doesn't believe it. They insist the case be reopened, and they're certain it's murder.Dane knows it was. But if too many people look in his direction, his career could be on the line. Or worse, his life.
