There are clean cops and dirty cops and then there’s Joe Rizzo. Joe is the kind of cop who puts away the bad guys, calls in favors when he needs them and tries to break only five rules a day. He’s on Internal Affairs’ radar, but Joe considers himself and his fellow officers chemotherapy for the cancer of petty crime that ails New York City. So he’s wary when city councilman Daily has him and his new partner Mike McQueen assigned to an off-the-books search to find Daily’s messed-up runaway daughter. Can Rizzo and McQueen handle the fallout that their investigation is about to generate? Manfredo’s gritty debut thriller strips away the car chases and gun fights of TV cop shows and takes you deep into the nuts and bolts of police work, and, as Rizzo tells his young partner, “There’s no wrong. There’s no right. There just is.”
