Her police mentor has retired, her friend at City Hall is demoted. She can’t believe the way Chicago has dissolved into chaos. Her own family is threatened by the clash of the Secret Six vigilantes and the Outfit gangsters. In the penultimate book of the series, Emily meets Eliot Ness and Frank Nitti when she fights to protect the innocent and ensure some justice in a lawless city.
When tragedy strikes through a horrible accident, JaQuan Miller finds himself on the run in the backstreets of Boston. Torn between loyalty to the small band of youngsters he leads and the need to protect himself, JaQuan longs for the time when his grandmother provided security.
Hunted by the police, he seeks help from other young people while adults in the police, a reformed gang member, and women from the SAFE, a refuge for troubled youngsters, try to find or help him. While life goes on in the prosperous layers of Boston’s society, one young man desperately strives to find a way to live.
