Filled with drugs, prostitution, and crime, this mystery explores the unglamorous life of a street cop in the rough-and-tumble 51 Division. Jack Warren, a young officer who enters the dangerous downtown streets after working in a virtually crime-free area, is immediately thrown into a brutal war against a crack-cocaine dealer intent on taking over the city's drug trade. Jack soon discovers that no one is safe from the dealer's quest for domination when the war turns horrifically personal. Working with the division's elite major-crime unit, Jack learns there is an imperceptible yet enormous difference between the law and justice--and being a police officer and surviving in the 51.
