So he crosses that line and inadvertently unleashes a storm so violent and so stunning that it turns Scott and his only ally, a Mexican cop named Benny Alvarez, into fugitives on both sides of the border as they fight to expose a scheme so corrupt that it could bring down both the U.S. and Mexican governments.

The Second Shooter

New Orleans in the 1990s--dirty, corrupt, and violent, the murder capital of the United States, with a scandal-plagued police department that was collapsing under the weight of its own corruption. No one could imagine that things could get much worse for this once-great American city. Then Antoinette Frank joined the New Orleans Police Department, and things got much, much worse. Before long, Officer Antoinette Frank would commit a crime so bloody and so shocking that it brought international attention to the Crescent City and left many wondering if New Orleans was not an American city after all, but some displaced third-world banana republic where the rules of civilized society no longer applied.

In the city of New Orleans it is the corrupt who govern, and ex-cop Ray Shane is no stranger to those in charge. After five years in prison, he is finally free--and determined to stay out of trouble. But it's tough to stay straight. The Messina crime family runs the House of the Rising Sun, a strip bar that hides far more than it reveals, and Ray's job is to protect it. So when four gunmen rob the House and kill the mob boss's nephew, Ray--in the wrong place at the right time--takes the heat. Targeted by both mob goons and the law, he must slog through the city's gritty underbelly to clear his name. But the lies go far deeper than he imagines, and soon there will be nowhere to turn.
