The young woman left for dead on a waste ground in East New York, seven bullets in her body and her fingerprints burnt off, was not supposed to survive. After she disappears from the hospital ward, Detective Louis Burrows discovers her identity as Lisa Hanley, sister to the boss of one of the top Jamaican crime families in the US. Now her family want revenge, not only for her attempted murder, but also for the theft of the cash she was carrying.
Is the Mafia linked to Lisa's attempted murder, and will the streets of New York once again be bathed in the blood of gangland brothers? As her brother Early leads his own investigation, and bodies of mobsters begin to pop up all over the Big Apple, he finds out that the key to the shooting of his sister is much closer to home than expected.
