From the bestselling author of Sleepers and former writer/producer
of Law & Order comes another high-octane New York City crime
drama pulsing with energy. In Lorenzo Carcaterra's Chasers, the
street-smart and highly specialized cadre of renegade NYPD cops
last depicted in his acclaimed novel Apaches returns in a new tale
of action and suspense.
It's 1985, and the city that never sleeps is about to wish it had
stayed in bed. The heinous machine-gun murder of innocent
bystanders in a Manhattan restaurant shocks all five boroughs. The
brutal slaying propels the surviving members of the
Apaches-controversial, take-'em-down, outside-the-law ex-cops-into
investigating a Colombian drug cartel responsible for distributing
millions of kilos of cocaine on American shores.
Along for the harrowing ride with Boomer, Dead-Eye, and Reverend
Jim are three new Apaches: Ash, a wounded female Hispanic cop who
specializes in arson investigations; Quincy, an HIV-positive
recruit who's a forensics expert; and a retired police dog named
Buttercup, a Neapolitan bullmastiff who is no ordinary animal but a
gold-shield detective, highly decorated for his skills at sniffing
out illegal drugs. Now this dedicated team will become Chasers,
working multiple cases that will converge into one explosive,
all-out street war.
They will face a gallery of formidable enemies: Quinones, a
mysterious and deadly assassin; the Boiler Man, a killer as
ruthless as he is cunning; Angel, a former priest turned cartel
boss, determined to end his career as the richest drug baron in the
world; and the G-Men, a band of dealers and doers determined to
maintain their iron grip on the cocaine trade-no matter how much
blood is spilled.
Fueled by Lorenzo Carcaterra's adrenaline-rush prose and peopled
with uncommon heroes and merciless crime lords tearing through city
streets, Chasers proves to be this acclaimed author's most intense
novel to date.
