Codes of Betrayal Book

In her shoot-from-the-hip memoir, Police Woman, bestselling crime novelist Dorothy Uhnak blew the lid off the NYPD, recounting her decade as one of New York City's first female detectives. Following up that classic with two more bestsellers, Law and Order and The Investigation, Uhnak has risen through the ranks as one of today's premiere police thriller writers. Now she'll enthrall you with Codes of Betrayal, another razor-sharp suspense novel that cuts to the heart of policework--the danger, the death, the honor, and the betrayal.

The son of an Irish father and an Italian mother, Nick O'Hara has always been a good cop in a tough family situation--doing his best to avoid the influence of Nicholas Ventura, his Mafia don grandfather. But when Nick makes the mistake of sending his son Peter to a Little Italy street fair with the boy's underboss cousin, the unthinkable happens. Peter is ruthlessly gunned down in an alley--the innocent victim of a mob shootout. Nick knows who did it, but his hands are tied. And at the worst possible time, his wife abandons him, leaving Nick with nothing left to lose. Consumed by sorrow and rage, he begins his downward spiral--a twisting path that will lead him and everyone he cares about shattered and broken. Now, in Nick's dark world, vengeance is the only road to salvation.
