Produktbeschreibung

Murder, deceit, and lies surrounded the life of Marty Levine. He was an assistant prosecutor for the Manhattan district attorney's office and was assigned to bring a criminal action against a young man of color for murder and rape. At every turn, he was challenged by Audrey Kincade, the deceased wife and accuser of rape. During Marty's investigation to seek the truth, he opened the door to treachery, murder for profit, and betrayal from a woman he loved and intended to marry. It was his baptism to a world of crime, and those who profaned the badge they wore, sworn to protect its citizens. They dishonored themselves and their oath under God. Marty was an honorable man in the shadowy world of lawbreakers and those pledged to uphold the law. He was raised in the streets of Manhattan and was a gifted athlete. He developed a close relationship with George Foster, both boys equally talented and destined to become professional baseball players, signing contracts in 1963. But their naïveté of the world beyond their borders would shatter their ambitions, and the blood brother ritual performed as pre-teens to always stand guard for the other faded like a summer breeze. The prejudice against people of color was a historical benchmark for over two-hundred years in the country's southern states and caused George Foster to abandon his dream for fear that his life could be taken by the mere whim of a social zealot. Marty tried to convince George to continue the pursuit of his cherished ambition. But, all communication between the two would end for six years, when fate would bring them together, not as friends, but as adversaries. The future prosecutor languished in misfortune when he suffered a career-ending injury, Marty's mother, guiding him through his disappointment. He attended law school, then worked in the Manhattan's district attorneys office, where he would become the prosecutor in a high profile murder-rape case, the accused, an African American working for the victim in Scarsdale, New York. The case would become a love-triangle of deception, murder, and betrayal, Marty Levine, in the fight for his career and life, as unseen forces motivated by greed wouldn't allow anything or anyone to prevent the biggest payday of their lives.
