A young law professor is hired to clean up a city strangled by corruption Nemo Crespiâs organization has a hand in everything from gambling rackets to hotels to newspapers. To combat him, the governor needs a special prosecutor he can trust, someone free of political ambitions . . . someone like John Conroy, a twenty-nine-year-old law professor as unlikely for the prosecutor job as anyone. Cynical, hardscrabble Conroy is reluctant to accept, until he realizes that the work will put his theoryâthat all power corruptsâto a welcome real-life test. It will be a formidable mission, and not just because of the caliber of the enemy. Conroyâs own father, a cop promoted to the role of chief investigator, has a close friend in Crespiâs ranks, and he knows his fair share of dirty secrets. As the investigation gains speed, Conroy and those closest to him will have to grapple with the full reach of the vicious syndicate.  This ebook features an extended biography of Horace McCoy. |
