Book description
Robbery, murder, incompetence and not enough parking spaces – just another day in the life of a big city’s police department. Judy Hammer investigates as a virus crashes the police computer, freezing screens with a design of blue fish – the same one a gang called the Pikes claim is their symbol.
Richmond, Virginia, is a city rich in Southern history, yet overrun by such modern-day problems as drug trafficking and escalating juvenile crime. Former Charlotte police chief Judy Hammer is brought in to clean up the police force–the most difficult assignment of her career. Now, in the face of overwhelming public scrutiny, she must navigate through local politics and prejudices to solve a brutal murder that springs straight from the rotting core of Richmond’s heart.
