Description
Derek Strange and Terry Quinn are two former police officers turned private detectives in Washington D.C. They have been hired to investigate the death of an off-duty black police officer at the hands of a white policeman, a case that exposes the deep-seated racism within the city's police force. As they delve into the investigation, Strange and Quinn must navigate the city's flourishing drug trade and confront some of its most ruthless killers. Their search for justice is complicated by the institutionalised racism that pervades every level of the police department, making it a daunting task to uncover the truth. This gripping mystery explores the darker side of human nature and the corrupting influence of power in a city where the rule of law often seems to be bent or broken.
