For years Burke has harbored an outlaw's hard love for Wolfe, the
beautiful, driven former sex-crimes prosecutor who was fired for
refusing to "go along to get along." So when Wolfe is arrested for
the attempted murder of John Anson Wychek, a vicious rapist she
once prosecuted, Burke deals himself in. That means putting
together a distrustful alliance between his underground "family of
choice," Wolfe's private network, and a rogue NYPD detective who
has his own stake in the outcome.
Burke knows that Wolfe's alleged "victim," although convicted only
once, is actually a serial rapist. The deeper he presses, the more
gaping holes he finds in the prosecution's case, but shadowy law
enforcement agencies seem determined to protect Wychek at all
costs, no matter who it sacrifices. Burke ups the ante by
re-opening all the old "cold case" rape investigations, calls in a
lot of markers from both sides of the law, and finally shows all
the players why "down here" is no place for tourists.
