Produktbeschreibung
New York, 1995 Cop Callum Burke arrives in New York from Hong Kong, drafted in as part of an international investigation into organised crime. With the handover of Hong Kong to China only a couple of years away, gangsters are moving their operations out of the territory and into New York ahead of the looming deadline. Burke's experiences with East Asian crime and the Triads' links to the Irish Mob make him the perfect man to send in undercover. But as he infiltrates these vast and lethal criminal networks, bodies start to pile up in his wake and his conscience threatens to send him over the edge. And when Burke's NYPD handlers push him to continue the investigation at all costs, he may have to cross the line from cop to criminal just to stay alive... Readers of Don Winslow, Michael Connelly, Steve Cavanagh, Richard Price and John Sandford will love this dark and morally complex novel which presents a searing portrait of mid-1990s New York as you've never seen it before.
