"Paul Larosa was a clueless kid growing up in a Bronx housing project when he was thrust into the city room of The New York Daily News as a copy boy. It was at the end of the vaunted Front Page era when reporters reveled in bad behavior; booze and anything they could get away with. A naif trapped in a tabloid world, Pual found himself--deliriously--in the center of it all."--Publisher.

It appears to be just another case in a pile of hundreds for seasoned San Jose police detectives Rex Johnson and Kat Sanchez. But when the two detectives open a seemingly standard investigation into credit card fraud, they are soon pulled into the murky underworld of Asian organized crime. Rex and Kit center their investigation on San Joses card clubs and soon uncover evidence of counterfeiting, loan sharking, extortion, and human trafficking. Led straight to a shadowy Vietnamese underworld figure who views himself as a modern day Al Capone, Rex and Kat find themselves not only immersed in a deadly game with the criminals, but also their own police administration. With the chief of police more focused on his political ambitions than the outcome of their investigation, Rex and Kat have no choice but to follow their gut instincts as they work their way deeper into the case. In a final twist that leads to an explosive life or death confrontation, Rex and Kat come face-to-face with international terrorists who are intent on retaliationregardless of the personal cost to two detectives sworn to serve and protect the citizens of San Jose.
