Triple homicide

By Hynes, Charles J.

Publishers Summary:
"In the early 1990s in New York, easy money stands to be made at every turn, and temptation proves a bitter struggle for the young and much-decorated NYPD sergeant Steven Holt. And for Steven and his uncle Robert, an officer before him, an increasingly violent mess endangers their careers and the reputation of the entire department." "Born out of real stories of corruption and centered around two men who ultimately dare to challenge the fabled "blue wall of silence," the novel works toward a majestic courtroom on Long Island, where Sergeant Holt is about to stand trial for triple homicide and where, as he comes to know his past, he'll learn that nothing he's known has ever been as it seemed."--BOOK JACKET. ADVENTURE / THRILLER. A riveting drama of two generations of New York cops and of two men, an uncle and his nephew, who dared challenge the fabled "blue wall" of silence. The novel begins in 1992, in a majestic courtroom on Long Island, where a young and much-decorated New York City Police Sergeant, Steven Holt, is about to stand trial for triple homicide. In its intense telling, the story uncovers decades of deceit and corruption that infiltrate families and threaten to ruin the force. Reflecting the proud yet troubled history of the NYPD, the novel is a searing, up-close portrait of the men and women who live - and die - in the pursuit of criminal justice.
