Summaries

A former Special Operations Vietnam vet works as a Chicago cop, and uncovers C.I.A. wrongdoing.

Nico Toscani, a former CIA agent, Aikido expert, and hard-as-nails Chicago police sergeant, has sniffed out the nefarious activities of crooked FBI operatives while investigating an international drug ring. However, when the suspects are allowed to walk away scot-free, Toscani finds himself with his back to the wall, putting his friends, colleagues, and family in harm's way. Now, a frenzied race against the clock to stop a psychotic drug lord and thwart a sinister political assassination plot begins. But no one is above the law. Who can stand in the way of justice and incorruptible Nico, Chicago's finest?—Nick Riganas

Nico learned martial arts in Japan, and was in Vietnam for the CIA, and now is a cop in the vice squad of Chicago. A junkie tells him about a big drug deal; However it turns out that the deal was about C4 explosives and that one of the parties was the CIA. Nico gets ordered to keep out of it, but can't imagine why the CIA would sell C4, so he investigates further. While risking his and his young family's life, he discovers that the CIA tries to cover it's connections to drug dealers in Middle America and wouldn't even stop from murder.—Tom Zoerner <[email protected]>
