Home from Iraq and still reeling from his discharge, Jason Palmer plans to spend the summer drinking too much and chasing girls. But when his brother is brutally murdered, Jason is all that stands between his eight-year-old nephew and a pair of ruthless killers with a mysterious agenda.As he struggles to protect all that remains of his family, Jason finds himself embroiled in something much larger than a simple quest for justice. Chicago is burning, set ablaze by gang warfare and the passions of wicked men, and the battle for Jason's South Side neighbourhood is looking more and more like the war he just left.Now, in a city where corruption is simply the cost of doing business, where issues of race and class smoulder just beneath the surface, Jason will be forced to face the mistakes of yesterday to fight for a better tomorrow.

MARCUS SAKEY is the author of the critically acclaimed novel "The Blade Itself." He has shadowed homicide detectives, toured the morgue, interviewed soldiers, ridden with gang cops, and learned to pick a dead bolt in sixty seconds. Born in Flint, Michigan, he now lives in Chicago with his wife.
