Twenty years later, the night still hits just as hard. A string of armed robberies has River City cops chasing shadows-bold hits, quick getaways, and a crew that seems to vanish into the dark before anyone can close the distance. Then the violence turns personal. Shots are fired. A cop goes down. And suddenly every traffic stop, every foot pursuit, every call at a corner store feels like it could be the one that ends a career-or a life. For a young patrol officer with grit and a steady voice, the job stops being about radios and report numbers. It becomes a private reckoning with the split-second question no one trains for out loud: when it's time to use deadly force, will the hand stay steady? As veterans, rookies, supervisors, and dispatchers strain under the pressure, rivalries flare, mistakes compound, and fear creeps into the cracks of routine.

The city keeps moving, the calls keep coming-and under a hard, watchful moon, the line between hunter and hunted gets thinner with every hour. Now newly revised and updated for its 20th Anniversary Edition, Under a Raging Moon is a pulse-driving police thriller about the cost of the badge, the psychology of survival, and what happens when the streets stop being a job and start being a war.
