It was the final, freezing hours before Christmas day, 1944 - in the last bitter winter of the war.  High on a mountain ledge in Belgium, a handful of American GIs, trapped by ice and fear, were alone.  They were surrounded by the final horror of the crumbling Nazi nightmare - The Battle of the Bulge.  Behind them was the greatest scientific prize of the war - the wreckage of the first jet plane.  In front of them were Germany's most skilled and lethal commandoes.  On that peak, American and German were alone.  Man to man.  Face to face.  With their guns they would fight the last battle of blood and bullets.  With their hearts they would fight the final struggle between the honor of truth and the glory of lies.

Dodd, Mead

Murder was in the air. A cop had killed himself, and every crook in town knew that would be sure to bring on the big heat. It all started innocently enough, when a cop committed suicide. It was worry over ill health, said his wife. Detective Dave Bannion wasn't so sure, but when he started digging, he was told to lay off--fast! Instead, he turned in his badge and started stalking the city streets and bars in search of the truth. There he uncovered a red-hot story of murder and corruption that would blow Philadelphia's underworld sky high. Bannion was big, strong, and angry enough to kill, but he was only one honest man in a city full of mobsters and crooked cops. The big heat was on.
