New Lots: A novel of redemption – hinnat ja saatavuus

A deadly drug war has turned a Brooklyn housing project into a hellhole. Can the NYPD possibly stop the carnage? Only if they come up with one hell of a plan. NYPD detective Loyd Shaw is months away from retiring when the all-powerful Chief of Detectives, Albert J. DeLuca, summons him to One Police Plaza. Shaw has given in to his anger and rebellious nature one too many times. DeLuca gives him an ultimatum. Lose your job, your pension, and any chance of earning a living, or go deep undercover and way off the books to stop a murderous drug war raging at a housing project in one of Brooklyn's worst neighborhoods. No one can know about this operation. Shaw must put together a small team from DeLuca's personal list of loser cops also on their way out. It'll be a mission for men given one last chance with hardly any chance of surviving. And by the way, the NYPD Commissioner's headstrong daughter, Justine Burton, runs a community center for battered women in the complex where the bodies are dropping. Shaw and his band of outcasts will find themselves battling a volatile mix of drug dealers, Muslim security guards recruited from prison, poverty, addiction, and greed. How will it end? In one, single, life-changing moment Loyd Shaw never imagined.
