Badge of Evil

From the same deadly crucible that forged Al Qaeda and ISIS, a new terrorist plot threatens to strike at the heart of America, and it&;ll take an uneasy alliance between New York&;s sharpest investigative journalist and one of its toughest private eyes to take them down. Badge of Evil is the first novel in a bold new thriller series from the writing team of private investigator Bill Stanton and award-winning journalist Craig Horowitz.

All eyes are on New York City&;s police commissioner Lawrence Brock after his hands-on role in a raid on a potential terrorist cell that turned into a blazing shootout. There&;s even talk that he may be headed to Washington to take over Homeland Security.

Investigative journalist A. J. Ross wants to expose the ruthless opportunist behind Brock&;s heroic image. Freewheeling private investigator Frank Bishop is hired by the family of the lone surviving suspect, desperate to prove the young man&;s innocence. A. J. and Bishop hate each other at first sight, but they&;ll need to learn to work together quickly if they want to take down the commissioner&;because Lawrence Brock will do anything to ensure the dark secrets of his past remain hidden.

Badge of Evil introduces a dynamic new voice in thriller fiction, in the spirit of such bestselling authors as Harlan Coben and David Baldacci. It is a novel of our times and for our times&;an all too familiar story of corruption and abuse at the highest levels, and how the lust for power can drive men to commit the most shocking acts.
