The subject is drugs. The characters are loathsome. The first
female governor of New York, herself the daughter of a notorious
organized crime Don, has made up her mind to rid New York City of
illegal drugs. She claims that all politicians before her have paid
only lip service to the problem, and that what is needed is an
actual act of war. Using the Posse Comitatus Act of 1870 she tries
to convince legislators that she is acting correctly when she
declares martial law in portions of New York City. She is accused
of treason.
Some of her closest friends and political allies become suspect
to her cause. Margaret Braggi in her initial actions is not aware
of the interplay of the Cosa Nostra and the Russian drug lords.
These forces create barriers to her potential success.
The story unfolds revealing ruthlessness in quests for power and
money. Terror, murder, and anarchy make this book a study of the
drug reality.
