Publisher's Synopsis
The oath to protect and serve the great city of Philadelphia is a badge that Officer Rick Riley wears proudly, but discordance between him and his brother and fellow police officer, Steve, has caused wounds that haven't been healed. It all comes to a head 5 years later when Rick reports to the scene of a stabbing. The victim of the stabbing is his nephew Ryan Riley. Now the skeletons of the Riley family are crawling out one by one. The woman in the center of it all, Kathy Riley, desperately wants the only man she has ever loved back in her arms, but her binding betrayal may have sent him away forever. Not everyone can win, but it seems everyone has something to lose. With sibling rivalry reignited, who will survive once the smoke begins to fade? Will a hero be made?
