Synopsis

In Philadelphia—suffering among the country’s highest murder rates—the tension between the Philadelphia Police Department and its Citizens Oversight Committee has long been reaching a boiling point. That turmoil turns from bad to worse shortly after the committee begins targeting police shootings—especially those of twenty-seven-year-old Homicide Sergeant Matt Payne, the “Wyatt Earp of the Main Line”—and then the committee’s combative leader is found shot dead point-blank on the front porch of his run-down Philly row house.As chanting protesters fill the streets, the city threatens to erupt. Payne, among many others accused of being complicit in the leader’s death, becomes quietly furious. He suspects there’s something deeper behind it all, but what? Ordered to stay out of the line of fire, he struggles ahead to do what he does best—his job. He’s been investigating the murder of a young family. A reporter, working on an illicit drug series for Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Mickey O’Hara, has been killed with his wife and child, a note stapled to his chest warning that the drug stories are to stop. Period. While Payne knows that he, like his pal O’Hara, cannot back down, he also knows that they damn sure could be among the next to die.…

Goodreads review by Robin

As usual, Scott Brick is the narrator of choice. I can see the influence of the son in this story. Unlike most W E B Griffin novels that are deep into the series we didn't try to bring up every character in the series to show what they are doing, we didn't go back thru every novel to give the charac......more

Goodreads review by Ron

I enjoyed the first few Badge of Honor books, but lately the series seems to be tedious. There is a little bit of action, but not much in the way of plot or character development. I started loosing interest when the authors brought the series into modern times rather than the late 1960's/early 1970'......more

Goodreads review by Byron Smith

Boring I enjoyed W.E.B. Griffin's Badge of Honor series, the Brotherhood of War series, the Marines and many of the spy stories until the last ones of each series became repetitive. This book had to repeat the only current action twice then the story died from unatural deaths. No more web Griffin or......more

Goodreads review by Connie

I have read this entire series (Badge of Honor) and I like it. The last couple of books in the series though, including this one seem to drift from one thing to another and I struggle to find the connections sometimes. It's a shame because it's an enjoyable series.......more
