Chicago homicide detectives Jim Ryan and Brian Dwyer know there could be pressure on their investigation when they discover the two men murdered in a Loop public parking garage were an FBI agent and an assistant U.S. attorney. They do not expect their lives will be turned into a nightmare as their list of suspect grows to include an FBI agent, a federal judge, his wife, and organized crime figures from New Orleans. Witnesses are intimidated, Ryan’s apartment is bugged, his girlfriend is threatened by the IRS, and his ex-partner tries to entrap him for the FBI. The two detectives narrowly escape death in a shoot out in a suburban motel and may end up with a federal indictment for a civil rights violation with the killer as the complainant. Ride along with the two detectives as they trail the killer and try to avoid the ricochet from politics and corruption.
