Amazon.com Review
The good and bad cops of Barbara D'Amato's tough, tension-filled thriller are two brothers: Chicago police superintendent Nick Bertolucci and his disturbed brother Aldo, a jealous and vengeful patrolman. Using a real case--the 1969 police raid that killed Black Panther Fred Hampton--D'Amato has constructed a complicated, credible story about family rivalries and public cover-ups. The Bertoluccis' father was a top policeman involved in the Hampton case, and after his death Aldo uncovers evidence that could destroy his brother's career. As she did in her excellent Killer.app, D'Amato manages to surround her police characters with a richly detailed everyday life that stays with you long after you close the book's covers.
