Only Detective Michael Bennett stands in the way of two lethal cartels fighting for New York Citys multi-million-dollar opioid trade. And they know where he and his family live. An anonymous tip about a crime in Upper Manhattan proves to be a setup. An officer is taken down -- and, despite the attackers efforts, its not Michael Bennett. New Yorks top cop is not the only one at risk. One of Bennetts children sustains a mysterious injury. And a series of murders follows, each with a distinct signature, alerting Bennett to the presence of a professional killer with a flair for disguise. Bennett taps his best investigators and sources, and they fan out across the five boroughs. But the leads theyre chasing turn out to be phantoms. The assassin takes advantage of the chaos, enticing an officer into compromising Bennett, then luring another member of Bennetts family into even graver danger. Michael Bennett cant tell whats driving the assassin. But he can tell its personal, and that its part of something huge. Through twist after twist, he fights to understand exactly how he fits into the killers plan, before he becomes the ultimate victim.
